Preventive and Repressive Measures Combating Administrative Corruption in Local Groups

Abstract

Maintaining the stability and organization of society depends on the extent to which its various types of institutions and activities meet the needs of community members. This process begins with satisfying the local community so that peace and tranquility prevail in the overall community. The most important institutions that ensure that the needs of members of the local community are met are the local groups (state/municipality) that undertake projects that undertake the tasks of satisfying the various needs and desires of individuals for various social services. Local groups are considered the link between society and the state. Therefore, the effective and proficient performance of these institutions’ tasks is the concern of the state and many studies, especially with the spread of the phenomenon of administrative corruption. Achieving effectiveness at work requires attention to the worker’s behavior, which must be consistent with the rules, requirements and duties of the job. Working individuals - in their interaction with the organizational rules of local groups - may resort to using various possible tricks and games, adopting deviant behavior and transgressions, and thinking about achieving their own interests at the expense of public interests. The end result is the wasting of the rights and interests of individuals (citizens or institutions) dealing with local groups, and thus the loss of trust in them, which increases the gap of mistrust and lack of credibility between the citizen and state institutions. For this reason, the state, with its various agencies, has created mechanisms and devices to combat the phenomenon of administrative corruption, until She regains her position in society and gains the trust of her citizens. Accordingly, this study answers the following question: What preventive and repressive measures has the state taken to combat administrative corruption in local communities? What is the sociological analysis of the phenomenon of administrative corruption?
