Summary/Abstract |
This study develops a framework to explore the relationships between corruptive contexts, organizational ethical practices, and anticorruption performance on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Results show that effective management of organizational ethics practices can enhance anti-corruption performance. However, 21.8 percent of participants identified the ethics in their organizations as being of the "ethically lax type," indicating that ethics practices are not satisfactory. This study suggests that each organization should emphasize leadership in order to reduce corruption opportunities and motivation, establishing a legitimate interactive mechanism with government authorities. With such an ethical system and the resulting synergy between the public and private sectors in place, it will be possible combat corruption, reinforce organizational ethics and performance, and promote anti-corruption performance.
