Abstract

This chapter takes the typical form of a scientific paper based on an empirical study: Introduction, Method, Results and Discussion. The chapter aims to contribute in several ways to the growing body of knowledge on organizational corruption. The core purpose is to assess the plausibility of a causal relationship between organizational anti-corruption measures, bonus culture and corruption within the context of organizations. To my knowledge, this is the first study to make an attempt at determining if there might be a causal relationship between these variables within an organizational context. Knowledge about the degree to which organizational measures and a bonus culture are responsible for the level of organizational corruption is not only important from a scientific point of view but also has the potential to aid the development of more effective anti-corruption interventions.
