Culture, Perceived Corruption, and Economics
研究构建并检验了一个整合社会经济因素的腐败模型，发现经济困境通过腐败影响财富，不确定性规避和文化维度调节了这些关系，对国际协议的有效性有启示。
Corruption can impede commerce and economic development, yet it seems to be tolerated in many countries. The purpose of this study was to develop and test a model that integrates socioeconomic factors related to corruption. The analysis revealed that a negative relationship between economic adversity and wealth was mediated by corruption. Economic adversity was positively related to corruption, and corruption was inversely related to wealth. Uncertainty avoidance moderated the relationship between economic adversity and corruption, whereas power distance and uncertainty avoidance were positively associated with corruption. The implications of these results for enhancing the effectiveness of international agreements are discussed.
