چکیده:
Corruption, as one of the unfavorable realities of modern society, has experienced unprecedented growth in the administrative, political, and social systems of the world. As recent events have shown, no country, regardless of its wealth and power, can claim to be completely immune to the destructive consequences of corruption. Corruption has various types, including financial, ethical, political, and administrative corruption, which are among the most important. Administrative corruption, resulting from bureaucratic factors, is a product of an inefficient administrative system, negative bureaucracy, ineffective management system, and lack of a meritocratic system. Various solutions have been proposed to combat corruption. This article attempts, with a novel approach, to analyze the root of administrative corruption beyond formal and small factors and to address the issue with a macro and comprehensive view. In this regard, it analyzes the relationship between corruption and the pattern of governance and emphasizes that corruption is affected by the type of relationship between the government and other sectors and its role, position, and specific function in society. Accordingly, it introduces the pattern of good governance as a new pattern to reduce corruption and increase administrative integrity and explains the relationship between the aforementioned pattern and administrative corruption.
