PurposeThis article aims to report on the development and validation of a bribery measurement index for the business sector, which, based on institutional theory, seeks to overcome the limitations of traditional measurements, recognizing the dynamics that originate the phenomenon and identifying process components.Design/methodology/approachTo construct the index, correlational and principal component analysis techniques were used, as well as rigorous statistical tests, validating the instrument in a sample of 2,963 companies in Latin America, including Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico and Peru.FindingsThe result was an instrument composed of two dimensions: (1) anti-bribery game rules, composed of regulations knowledge and anti-bribery efforts, and (2) bribery as a perceived habit, allowing an objective representation of reality due to its internal consistency, concurrent and discriminant validity.Practical implicationsThis instrument is one of the few that focuses on measuring bribery in the business sector in terms of corrupt practices, applicable for both public and private institutions to promote game rules against bribery. Additionally, the proposed theoretical model can be used to measure other phenomena with similar characteristics.Originality/valueThis article empirically highlights different variables that make bribery possible. The results can be helpful in the design of strategies to prevent this type of behavior. It also highlights the importance of designing mechanisms to record information related to bribery and the different expressions of corruption in order to explain its different nuances.

“…fruit juice, and does not state on the packaging that there are more preservatives in the product exported to Slovakia than in the same product intended for Western Europe, this is a violation of the law. The problem was mainly addressed by the State Food and Veterinary Administration and the Slovak Consumers' Association, which initiated the tests, as it was a problem of corporate social responsibility towards their customers (Veselovska et al, 2020;Zavadsky et al, 2018;Osvaldova and Vrabcova, 2021).…”

Dual quality is a situation when a company places its products on international markets under the same brand and in identical or very similar packaging but with different composition or different quality. This has the greatest impact on the satisfaction of consumers, who may feel inferior if they receive lower quality than abroad. Several comparative tests were carried out in Europe, which showed that dual quality exists in the EU, although it was not confirmed that there were always better products in Western Europe. Testing bodies, national politicians, the European Commission, manufacturers and distributors, and consumers abroad also commented on the topic. Several countries conducted research on consumer opinions on dual quality, but similar research was lacking in Slovakia. For a long time, there was also a lack of a solution to this situation, as manufacturers defended themselves by saying that they were only fulfilling the demands of consumers. The main aim of this paper is to examine consumers’ opinions on dual product quality and to identify a solution to this problem that meets their requirements. The analysis of the opinions of consumers in the Slovak Republic was based on the results of primary research conducted on a sample of 987 respondents. The general methodology established by the European Union served as a guideline for formulating proposals for solving the problem of dual quality of goods in the EU, which was adapted to the conditions of the Slovak Republic in accordance with the opinions of Slovak consumers. The main proposal is the establishment of the Slovak Trade Inspection (STI) as the main body responsible for solving the issue of dual quality in Slovakia. STI is supposed to be responsible for receiving and processing suggestions in case of suspicion of dual quality, coordination in ensuring product testing and communication with brand owners. Another important proposal is the intensification of communication with brand owners and the creation of more space for their expression in the event that dual quality offered by them is discovered. As part of testing the use of dual quality as an unfair practice, the prices of the affected products in individual countries should also be investigated.
