“…While there are many historical trajectories, which may influence corruption on the country level, we emphasized that the impact on the propensity to act corrupt depends on their institutional anchoring (Senge, 2006), the interaction of different institutional influences (Delmestri and Walgenbach, 2008), their field- and organization-specific embedding (Ashforth and Anand, 2003; Pohlmann, Höly and Klinkhammer, 2016), and the implementation of these patterns through gender-specific socialization (Alatas et al, 2009b) in the respective country.…”

“…Therefore, our hypotheses on the degree of institutionalization of corruption lean on historical processes, while our explanandum is the effect of these processes on corrupt decisions in Poland and Russia today. Following Luhmann (1996), Senge (2006) typified the degree of institutionalization in a temporal, social, and material dimension. The temporal dimension refers to the duration of an institution, the social dimension to its binding nature and the material dimension to its authoritativeness.…”

The development of effective anti-corruption measures relies on a sound understanding of underlying country-specific cultural patterns of corruption. However, finding these patterns faces the problem of ecological fallacies when tracing back the results of comparative macro-studies to the national level or of using ex-post explanations for cultural variances in experimental research designs. Thus, we ask how cultural patterns can explain country differences in the propensity to act corrupt without neglecting the aforementioned problems. Based on institutional theory, we model path-dependent cultural patterns at the macro, meso and micro levels promoting propensity to act corrupt in Poland and Russia. The results of experimental data gathered from students in Poland and Russia show that the extent to which legal nihilism and ethical dualism are institutionalized at the macro level, as well as the micro factors of gender-specific socialization and studying law, has a significant effect on the propensity to act corrupt.
