Diversity of Corruption Concepts in Organizational Corruption Studies

Abstract

In this paper, we review previous studies on organizational corruption to show that there are various ways of understanding organizational corruption, depending on the viewpoints and ideas. Then, we examine the answer to the problem that organizational corruption does not disappear in spite of the adoption of various anticorruption management systems in organizations. In particular, this paper discusses the possibility that, due to the diversity of organizational corruption phenomena, the prevention of one type of organizational corruption does not work against the occurrence of another type of organizational corruption. At the same time, we also point out that it may increase the occurrence of organizational corruption.
