Abstract: While the existing literature has emphasized the role of governance in controlling corruption, they have paid less attention to its multidimensional nature. With this background, this paper identifies the configuration(s) of governance dimensions inducing a high control of corruption (low corruption) across Indian states using Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fs/QCA). The analysis presented several configurations of governance dimensions instrumental in causing a high control of corruption across the states. A remarkable result was that low performance in the human resource development dimension is one of the core causal factors that lead to a high control of corruption within the Indian context. This paper attempts to interpret this notable result and proposes a suggestion for the Indian government in light of this finding.
