Corruption’s impact on organizational outcomes

Abstract

Purpose This study aims to develop a model of corruption that measures the impact of sports corruption on organizational outcomes (i.e. win difference and attendance) and the mediating role of institutional reputation. How the form and extent of the corruption impacted these organizational outcomes was also examined. Design/methodology/approach Archival data were collected and then structural equation modeling (i.e. path analysis) was used to analyze the model and estimate the parameters. Findings The model was a good fit. The extent of the violation served as an antecedent to sanctions and institutional reputation mediated the relationship between the extent of the violation and organizational outcomes. A weak but negative correlation between sanctions and institutional reputation was also found. Practical implications Rather than seeking to prevent specific forms of corruption carried out by individuals, managers should consider developing and implementing reform interventions that concentrate on eliminating corrupt networks (e.g. a group of interrelated individuals that abuse their power for private or public gain) who facilitate systematic malfeasance acts. Originality/value The study is the first to operationalize the extent and form of corrupt acts and measure their impact on organizational outcomes. The results demonstrate how different variables interact to determine the effects on organizational outcomes.

“…Those financial losses are due to the diminished interest and attendance of fans when they become aware of the manipulation of their favorite club's competitions (Buraimo et al, 2016;Feltes, 2013;Prior et al, 2013). This is especially the case for organizations with low reputations as they are unable to mitigate the negative effects of such scandal (Kihl et al, 2018). Even the relegation of one important team to a lower league, as has happened after the Italian Calciopoli scandal, can have a negative financial effect on the other teams as the public's interest shifts to the lower league, following the relegated team (Amenta & Di Betta, 2021).…”
