Keywords:
transparent legislation, executive agencies,, administrative corruption, CorruptionAbstract
Corruption is a phenomenon far broader than fraud and possesses a multifaceted nature. In the administrative systems of most countries, corruption has caused serious damage to development and progress. In developing countries such as Iran, its importance, as well as the necessity of its control and containment, has become entirely evident to both policymakers and the general public. Administrative corruption refers to a range of behaviors and actions by public sector employees that, by violating ethical principles and administrative laws and regulations and by abusing their power and authority within an organization, seek to fulfill illegitimate personal or group interests. Administrative corruption leads to diminished efficiency of agencies and the collapse of public trust and confidence in them. The purpose of this study is to identify the consequences of the presence and persistence of administrative corruption on society and to explore strategies for combating it and reducing its negative impacts. The results indicate that, from a legal perspective, it is possible to significantly reduce administrative corruption in executive agencies and increase public satisfaction through the following: oversight of the proper implementation of laws, enactment of transparent legislation, reliance on the principle of transparency in all ongoing affairs of executive agencies, strengthening and refining the legal framework, proper implementation of privatization, development and support of mass media, merit-based appointments, and the elimination of redundant administrative bureaucracy
