Abstract

Corruption, and in particular, public sector corruption, is currently one of the most talked about problems in the world. Following on previous work on the association of national measures of dimensions of culture proposed by Gert Hofstede (1983) with manufacturing strategies (in countries across continents) and road fatalities (in countries within the European Union), this contribution focuses on association with perceived public sector corruption. This is based on the 2014 Corruption Perception Index - CPI (a Transparency International index), measuring the perceived levels of public sector corruption in 175 countries and territories. Power distance is positively associated with corruption, while individuality is negatively associated with perceived corruption (number of countries and territories included from across five continents: 69).
