The Effect of Anti-Corruption on the Organizational Climate of Government Departments and the Attitudes of Civil Servants

摘要

The impact of anti-corruption on the organizational climate of government departments and the attitude of civil servants is still unknown. The empirical study investigated 367 civil servants to explore this problem, and the results show that anti-corruption efforts have significant positive effects on the supportive climate, bureaucratic climate, identity climate and work significance climate of the organizational climate of government departments. It is further found that the more the anti-corruption efforts, the stronger the perception of organizational justice of civil servants in performance appraisal, promotion, salary and other aspects, and the higher the job engagement and job satisfaction. Organizational climate fully mediates the relationship between anti-corruption efforts and the perception of organizational justice, and partly mediates the relationship between anti-corruption efforts and job engagement and job satisfaction. The results suggest that the government should maintain strong anti-corruption efforts to create a good organizational climate and enhance the positive attitudes of civil servants.
