Chapter Chapter 5 in The Impact of Corporate Culture and CMS, 2021, pp 91-98 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Our findings in Chapter 2 confirmed earlier corruption research by showing that a country’s culture—consisting of the prevalence of corruption, cultural dimensions, and the sociostructural dimension (trust in politics, the judiciary, and the press)—exerts a considerable influence on the engagement in and the acceptance of corruption in everyday life. At the same time, we showed in Chapter 4 that the corruption-promoting influence of problematic national cultures also plays a significant role in everyday corporate life. This is not surprising, because values and attitudes cannot simply be put “aside.” Nonetheless, companies are quite capable of creating an integrity-promoting internal culture even in an environment that is prone to corruption, and this also impacts their business practices. They can immunize themselves, albeit not without difficulty, against external corruption-promoting values, norms, and routines. This is by no means a trivial finding, and it even raises the broader premise that companies themselves may have an anticorruption effect on their social environment. In this chapter, we shall address this issue both theoretically and empirically.
