Antecedent Factors of Attitude toward Corruption: an Empirical Study of Indonesian Students Context

摘要

Corruption is one main national enemy in Indonesia. Three variables (i.e. personal values, religious values, and integrity) are as antecedent variables in explaining attitude toward corruption. This research aims to examine the relationship between personal values and religious values toward perception of integrity, and the relationship between integrity and attitude toward corruption. Data was collected through self-administered questionnaire on Teacher College students in Banten, Indonesia. A non-probability sampling was applied in this study. The sample size of 250 respondents was set for this research. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to analyze the data. This study applied structural equation modeling for analyzing data. The test results were mixed where two hypotheses were supported and one hypothesis was not substantiated. Specifically, this study found that perception toward integrity is not a significant predictor of attitude toward corruption. The paper provides an analysis of the data, a discussion of the findings and the directions for future research.
