A Study on the Influence of Factors Causing Corruption on Public Officials’ Awareness of Outside Illegality

김보은

Studies related to corruption focus on the fact that corruption can deteriorate a nation’s future state. By finding and analyzing the causes of corruption to stabilize a nation and to successfully carry out social and economic development around the world, studies are making efforts to suppress or prevent corruption (Purohit, 2012; Thomas, 2010; UN, 2012). However, not only identifying the causes but also discussions on the public’s corruption awareness at home and abroad have been raised as very important issues in responding to corruption. There are limits that awareness is a subjective concept and people tend to maximize the severity of corruption further (Razafindrakoto & Roubaud, 2006). However, various researches have been made to predict the status or economic situation of a nation by measuring the awareness on corruption, creating various issues through continuous awareness study. Based on this point, this study seeks to examine the relationship between the causes of corruption and people’s awareness on outside illegality of public officials. Accordingly, this study will raise a question “How will the factors causing corruption influence awareness on the outside illegality of public officials to examine the influence relationship between the causes of corruption and awareness on corruption, as well as to propose alternatives to suppress or prevent corruption in public offices. This research will particularly pay attention to the correlation with the administrative reforms of the Board of Audit and Inspection, which is the control mechanism of outside illegality, and divided the times by the changes of the board for analysis. The analysis results showed that sociocultural factors have negative influence on the awareness of corruption in South Korea. Not only the establishment of institutions and systems but also the determination to eliminate corruption both culturally and socially are also important to reduce corruption. In other words, the monitoring and control of corruption have systemized by enhancing the auditing activities, and now it is necessary to make efforts to change the chronic awareness or customs of the society.
