Abstract: Corruption is nowadays a highly questioned matter, the subject of numerous debates and studies in recent years. The increasing awareness of the dramatic effects of corruption on a country's progress accelerates the examination of causes of the occurrence and spread of corruption worldwide. To achieve a higher degree of relevance in determining the level of corruption, this paper attempts to outline a questionnaire based analysis on the perception of corruption in Romania; the means used were the e-mail and social networks. The respondents were asked to assess certain statements, and to agree or disagree with them. The results are in line with the previous research: most items express strong agreements, highlighting a perception strongly influenced by the belief that in Romania, corruption is pervasive. Given the current context strongly influenced by the financial crisis, our paper represents the effect of the importance and usefulness of the subject for practice and current research in the socio-economic domain.
