In every intro book on espionage. MICE is the short-hand for why people become traitors / how to turn people into assets.

Very surprised that they never added one that started with R so that the acronym could be CRIME.

MICE has a nice sound to it, because it's what makes people rat.

Revenge isn't typically an ideology. It can be under certain circumstances (e.g. we will make the filthy Americans pay for all they've done!) but often people want revenge for a specific transgression with no underlying general belief (e.g. Bob banged my wife, now I'll destroy his career, fuck you Bob!).

Money is a social construct, it's ideological too. Let's call it ICE.

Money is not ideology

Being a "social construct" is not the same as being ideology.

Can you please recommend which book should I read about this topic? Don’t remember if I’ve seen any.

so a traitor is one that doesn't share another one's ideology :-)

No, you can share an idealogy but be motivated by money, or coerced. A traitor is a label for actions, not motivations.
