A Percolation-Like Process of Within-Organization Collective Corruption: A Computational Approach
用计算方法研究组织内集体腐败如何形成,类比渗流现象,通过系统动力学模型分析个人腐败偏好如何通过社会互动演变为集体腐败。
This study investigates how collective corruption appears, using a computational method. Specifically, acknowledging that the characteristics of collective corruption process are analogous to percolation phenomena, we illuminate that collective corruption is formed by ongoing social interactions in an organizational boundary. By formulating a percolation-based system dynamics model, we consider the behavioral characteristics of collective corruption in terms of individuals’ corruption preferences governed by personal attributes on corruption. We also propose and examine scenarios regarding the formation of collective corruption.
