While availing any governmental or non governmental service, have you been part of any type of corruption or have you paid in any sort to public servant while try to get any public service done?
In my country, lots of corruption in academia is non-monetary, but an exchange of favors, joining forces in an attack against someone's enemy. I have witnessed plenty of that going around, but was never in a position high enough to have means to oppose it.
Corruption is the most important obstacle to development, in addition to its impact on the political system and the democratic process, particularly weakening government performance. Thus, this phenomenon can reflect political, economic, administrative and legal instability.
Not Yet...... But many information gathered from some of applicants that is Some of Educationist are doing simply and greatly while recruiting the New Faculty members to the Institutions. Nasir Ahmad Ganaie I hope sir... You may know more information like this compare to me... regarding this issues....
Because of the massive corruption in my country, there is a massive shortage of services, deterioration of infrastructure, and deterioration of industrial and agricultural development
No one would admit to that, but sometime you are forced to becuse you will not access the service without it. In very corrupt organisations and even society one can end up becoming a passive briber for example. In some places to win a business contract or access services you have to give a bribe even if you don’t want to. Imagine even in hospitals at time. Corruption is definately evil!!
@ Nasir Thanks for bringing up this discussion which am sure most of us in public offices would be reluctant to either answer yes or no. Yet down deep in our hearts we have been compromised in one way or another to the extent when the surrounding innuendos are careful analysed and unmasked its true to say we have indeed participated in corrupt or compromised process or actions. Some of these incidents arise either from delegated powers or the master/servant relationships.
Corruption is a form of dishonesty or criminal offense undertaken by a person or organization entrusted with a position of authority, to acquire illicit benefit or abuse power for one's private gain. Corruption may include many activities including bribery and embezzlement, though it may also involve practices that are legal in many countries. Political corruption occurs when an office-holder or other governmental employee acts in an official capacity for personal gain. Corruption is most commonplace in kleptocracies, oligarchies, narco-states and mafia states. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption
Corruption is a constant in the society and occurs in all civilizations; however, it has only been in the past 20 years that this phenomenon has begun being seriously explored. It has many different shapes as well as many various effects, both on the economy and the society at large. Among the most common causes of corruption are the political and economic environment, professional ethics and morality and, of course, habits, customs, tradition and demography. Its effects on the economy (and also on the wider society) are well researched, yet still not completely. Corruption thus inhibits economic growth and affects business operations, employment and investments. https://www.intechopen.com/books/trade-and-global-market/corruption-causes-and-consequences
Corruption erodes the trust we have in the public sector to act in our best interests. It also wastes our taxes or rates that have been earmarked for important community projects – meaning we have to put up with poor quality services or infrastructure, or we miss out altogether. https://www.ibac.vic.gov.au/preventing-corruption/corruption-hurts-everyone
@ Chinaza , you have correctly spelt out what mankind stands to loose if relevant mechanisms to rid corruption amidst us is in terms of political,economic and social aspects. The issue is how do it and are we really sincere and honest with kind leadership especially we have in evolving economies and the amount of research ?
