“…According to this idea, corruption undermines trust in institutions and increases tolerance of offering and accepting bribes in public institutions (Habibov et al 2017). It has been both empirically and theoretically proven that corruption has an immensely negative effect on development around the world (Chitakunye et al 2015). Several authors assert that corruption tends to discourage investment and economic growth, aggravate the problems of informal economic activities, create obstacles to economic and political reform, exacerbate the inequality between the rich and the poor, significantly reduce satisfaction with public services and, in the long run, cause considerable degradation of living standards (Justesen & Bjørnskov 2014;Habibov 2016;Habibov & Cheung 2016).…”

A causal association was found between higher levels of corruption and lower levels of satisfaction with local and national governments. However, interaction term analysis provides suggestive evidence that: first, as public service satisfaction increases, the effects of corruption change from negative values to positive values for both local and national governments; second, as political situations improve, the negative effects of corruption diminish for both local and national governments; and, third, as the economic situation improves, the negative effects of corruption diminish for local, but not for national governments.

“…According to what is known as the "Sand the Wheels" Hypothesis, corruption increases the likelihood of bribery and unlawful behavior (Habibov et al, 2017). It has been theoretically and empirically proven that corruption has had a significant negative impact on development around the world (Chitakunye et al, 2015). Many scholars have argued that corruption causes discouragement and disbelief in economic growth, condensing economic activity, creating barriers to economic reform, exacerbating inequality between the rich and the poor, and in turn decreases satisfaction with public services in the community (Habibov, 2016).…”

Theoretical literature has two competing theories about the effects of corruption on society: the first group sees corruption as something that "Greases the Wheels of" the administrative and economic systems of countries and the second group calls it something that "Sands the Wheels" of those systems. This study examines the direct and indirect effects of corruption perceptions among Moroccan citizens on the non-electoral participation using the fifth wave data of the Arab barometer, assuming the first group's ideas. The fifth wave of this data was obtained in 2019-2018 and surveyed 2400 Moroccan citizens. Testing the hypothesis through the SEM indicate that, first, corruption perception has a direct positive and significant effect on the citizens' negative evaluation of the government performance and it increases the political distrust among citizens indirectly and significantly. Secondly, the results indicate that although perceptions of corruption by citizens do not directly have a significant effect on non-electoral participation, because all the mediating variables are significant, it can be argued that perceptions of corruption can have a positive impact on the expansion of non-electoral participation among citizens indirectly and it can happen through the variables of poor government performance and political distrust.
