إدراك الفساد المالي و الإداري في العراق من طلبـة و أساتـذة الجامعة

Abstract EN

We do not exaggerate when we say that administrative and monetary corruption is a very dangerous phenomenon which threatens mankind physically and morally.

Some people say that corruption is more dangerous than conventional wars.

This phenomenon cannot be immediately and accurately measured because it is practiced Illegally and not in public.

Because this phenomena takes different forms, it is difficult to be identified.

In this research, two exploratory studies are performed.

In the first study, an open questionnaire is used, while a closed one is used in the second.

The two studies aim at recognizing the realization of the sample of teachers and students for the corruption in Iraq in its different forms, how it spreads in the Iraqi state institutions and how dangerous it is.

It also aims at knowing the different interpretations of teachers and students to the reasons of corruption and its remedy.

The results have shown that the sample realizes thirty different forms of corruption.

They rank Iraq at the top of corrupted countries.

There is a slight difference in the interpretation of the teachers and students for the reasons and remedy of corruption.

Students attribute corruption to external reasons which are not related to man, while teachers attribute it to internal reasons related to man.

The two samples agree that remedy is external.

This is indicative of our culture that tends to blame other people and outside conditions, and not personal behavior.

Results have also shown that the sample realizes that bribe is the worst form of corruption.

The members of the sample have shown some leniency to other forms of corruption like gifts, tips and facilitation.

The sample has shown no contentment with the executives who get prerogatives, and they see that this phenomenon is widespread in Iraq.

They also see that corruption is widespread in Ministries of Electricity, Trade and Oil.

They consider it so dangerous if corruption is widespread in Ministries of Interior, Oil and Higher Studies.
