경찰의 윤리의식이 조직 내 온정주의 문화에 따라부패인식에 미치는 영향

Abstract

This paper aims to examine an effect of the ethical level of police officers that are highly required to be upright on corruption perception according to paternalism culture. Generally, the ethical level of individuals is affected by an organizational culture and highly likely to change perception toward corruption, and hence, it has a purpose to verify it. The study was completed based on information collected by a survey of current police officers. The ethics of the police officers that are highly required to be honest plays a significant role to the officers. Thus, the police officers tend to have a high level of ethics when they are first hired due to the characteristics of the police profession requiring a high sense of ethics. However, under the assumption that paternalism overflowed within an organization might affect the ethical level of police officers and change the perception toward corruption, a result of the confirmation on actual hypotheses formulated by a survey of current police officers showed the following details. It was suggested that the higher a sense of ethics of individual police officers was, the more they had a negative recognition on corruption, and there was no correlation between individuals’ ethical level and paternalism. However, as a result of an examination on the effect of the ethical level on the recognition by setting up paternalism as a mediating factor, two factors affected the perception toward corruption.
