Description
The study analysed explanations of corruption in public procurement processes, using qualitative thematic content analysis, based on five discipline-based theories about corruption. The analysis revealed considerable complexity, with no single theory able to comprehensively explain the phenomenon of corruption, and all five theories offering valuable insights into how and why corruption arose. These findings are important because an organisation’s approach to corruption prevention and treatment is usually driven by its view about causes of corruption. Public sector organisations could therefore benefit from adopting corruption prevention and treatment programs based on broader theoretical perspectives.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
