The Effect of Organizational Factors on the Transparency Behavior of Street-Level Bureaucrats: The Bangladesh Perspective
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Organizational transparency in the public sector is a major concern in the public administration discourse. Conventional wisdom says that absence of transparency stimulates corruption. Therefore, transparency is argued as a remedy to the corruption problem of public sector organizations. This paper is based on a qualitative study, which was aimed at exploring how organizational factors—culture, structure, and endowment—affected the transparency behavior of the street-level bureaucrats in Bangladesh. Employing indepth interviews and observation methods, the study found that power distance, uncertainty avoidance tendency, discretion, and insufficient resource allocation affected the transparency activities of the street-level bureaucrats negatively while participation and team orientation mentality contributed positively.
