I suspect hiring practices and company culture may be selecting for gullability either accidentally or deliberately in many cases (cynically the gullible are easier to motivate cheaply). Like how "being a team player" is used to refer to willingness to work unpaid overtime as opposed to actual ability to cooperate. If they value "responsiveness to their authority over procedure" then people will send the entire financial records to "the CEO" for fear of getting fired otherwise.
