Çalışmanın diğer amaçları; ağırlıklı olarak işletme kaynaklı nedenler olmak üzere çalışan hırsızlığının nedenlerini ve maliyetlerini günümüze kadar ulaşılmış istatistiki bulgularla incelemek ve hali hazırda çeşitli işletmelerde uygulanmakta olan önlemeye yönelik çalışmalar hakkında bilgi vererek bu çalışmaların hangi yönde geliştirilebileceği üzerine önerilerde bulunmaktır.
