反腐败需要伦理型领导

The need for ethical leadership in combating corruption

在本文中,我们对伦理型领导在减少腐败中的作用进行了实证评估,研究了伦理型领导对腐败的有效遏制是否取决于公共组织奖励制度的质量。我们关注奖励制度的两个相关部分:绩效奖励和程序公平。通过收集巴基斯坦154个政府和非营利组织的741名员工的调查数据,我们发现伦理型领导和腐败举报间存在负相关性。绩效奖励则与更少的腐败情况具有相关性;员工提出在程序公平程度较低的组织中,伦理型领导与腐败间的负相关性更强。我们讨论了这些发现对公共组织反腐败研究和策略的启示。

In this article,we empirically assess the role of ethical leadership in reducing corruption.We also examine whether the effectiveness of ethical leadership in curbing corruption depends on the quality of the reward system in public organizations.We focus on two related components of the reward system:the use of performance-based rewards and procedural fairness.Using data collected through a survey of 741 employees in 154 government and non-profit organizations in Pakistan,we find a negative association between ethical managerial leadership and reports of corruption.We also find that the use of performance-based rewards is associated with fewer incidences of corruption,and that the negative relationship between ethical leadership and corruption is stronger when employees report low levels of procedural fairness.We discuss the implications of these findings for research on and strategies for combating corruption in public organizations.make decisions in an ethical manner,and hold subordinates accountable for unethical conduct.
