THE IMPACT OF CORRUPTION FACTORS IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

Abstract

This article highlights the growing global impact of corruption and its negative aspects on democracy, human rights, and sustainable development goals. At the same time, in this research work, using a literature review and analysis of secondary data, special attention is paid to the spread of corruption, its various forms, and especially its destructive consequences in public administration. Furthermore, this article highlights how corruption undermines public trust, reduces institutional effectiveness, misallocates resources, and seriously impacts critical sectors such as healthcare. In turn, this research work pays special attention to the importance of developing a culture of honesty, raising public awareness, and ensuring transparency and accountability in public services. At the same time, this article focuses on assessing the complex relationship of corruption to the effectiveness of public administration, how corruption affects public administration institutions, and what negative consequences it leads to in the provision of public services in general. This article also emphasizes the need for systemic reforms, transparency, accountability, and a radical improvement of the code of ethics for civil servants, as well as other efforts to combat and effectively eradicate corruption. At the same time, it is shown that this is one of the important measures in instilling moral values and a culture of honesty in the younger generation. Using the example of developed countries free from corruption, it is noted that the fight against corruption is carried out through strict laws and coordinated efforts. In turn, this article emphasizes through examples that corruption is not only a problem that worries the public but also a catalyst leading to weakened governance, increased instability, and overall economic difficulties.
