“…Next, the current study provides insights into different ways in which rich and poor bribers might benefit from getting their bribes accepted (for related macroeconomic analyses on the topic, see [50][51][52] ). Specifically, we found that compared to poor bribers, rich bribers needed to offer a lower proportion of their endowments to get a bribe accepted by the bribees.…”

People differ fundamentally in their propensity to engage in bribery. Herein, we tested the effects of inequality of (monetary) resources between bribers (individuals who can offer bribes) and bribees (individuals who might receive bribes) on bribery. We implemented a bribery game where bribers and bribees could engage in bribery to benefit themselves at the cost of others. To manipulate resource inequality, we allocated each briber with a high or a low endowment (resulting in “rich” and “poor” bribers) and matched them with a bribee who received either a high or a low endowment (resulting in “rich” and “poor” bribees). In a large-scale pre-registered study (N = 2,401), we found that rich (vs. poor) bribees exhibited a stronger preference for (1) accepting bribes from rich, rather than poor bribers, and (2) accepting higher, rather than lower bribes. Furthermore, we found that both poor and rich bribers indicated they would only accept relatively high bribes from rich (rather than poor) bribees. Finally, rich and poor bribers benefitted in different ways when engaging in bribery: to get their bribes accepted, rich bribers had to spend lower proportions of their endowments than poor bribees, however, rich bribers had to spend more in absolute terms.

“…Companies that pay bribes face a different set of rules and regulations and regulate the costs and benefits of the company in bribing. In contrast to Nel (Nel, 2019), the increased frequency of bribe payments has a greater impact on the ability to use bribes to fix problems with public officials rather than choosing to join protests and demonstrations. While Monyake & Hough (Monyake & Hough, 2019) explains systemic corruption and bribery, in general, may be counterproductive to long-term socio-economic progress, it is important not to overlook the opportunities and constraints that make people use bribes as a way to survive.…”

The administrators of the state should be obliged to carry out their duties with a sense of responsibility and do not commit disgraceful acts, without strings attached either for personal, family, crony or group interests and do not expect compensation in any form that is contrary to the provisions of the legislation in force. However, Sri Hartini as the state organizer as the Regent of Klaten did it against the law. For this reason, the purpose of this research is how is the role of Sri Hartini as the Regent of Klaten Related to Corruption in Klaten Regency. This research uses descriptive qualitative research methods and data analysis techniques using the Nvivo 12 Plus software and secondary data sources from the Putusan Mahkamah Agung Nomor 55/PID.SusTPK/2017/PN.SMG. And the result is that Sri Hartini's role as a state organizer as Klaten Regent has a very dominant role in committing criminal acts of corruption, gratuity, bribery, and abuse of authority with the new SOTK changes in the Klaten District Government Environment. This can be proven by the percentage generated from the analysis using Nvivo 12 Plus, namely Gratification with a percentage of 35.27%, Network with a percentage of 45.95%, Bribery with a percentage of 38.08%, and Abuse of authority with a percentage of 37.82%.

“…In a nutshell, studies have shown that incidences of bribery practices are less likely in countries with high institutional quality and more likely in countries with poor institutional quality (Bjørnskov, 2011; Oh and Ryu, 2019). However, Nel (2019) posit that in certain instances bribery practices can increase the income of the poor even under poor institutional quality.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess the perceptions of the grassroots on the impact of combative policy measures, strategies and programs introduced by the government and the civil society to reduce persistent occurrences of bribery practices in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach Multi-stage or cluster sampling was used to acquire the data for this paper via survey questionnaire administered to the grassroots in Abuja, Nigeria. The data set is used to assess the impact of the various policy measures, strategies and programs on the persistence of bribery practices in Nigeria. The multiple linear regression method was used to estimate the data generated from 836 responses in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. Findings The result of the estimations indicates that the respondents perceived that some of the policy measures, strategies and programs introduced have reduced persistence of bribery practices in Nigeria, whereas others have remained ineffective in reducing the persistence of bribery practices in Nigeria. Originality/value Previous studies on the impact of anti-bribery policy measures, strategies and programs were largely based on the perceptions of international institutions and business executives; this study appears to be the pioneer to focus on the perceptions of the grassroots in Abuja, Nigeria.
