Antecedentes culturais da corrupção: Uma análise das relações do modelo 6D de Hofstede na dissuasão à corrupção

The aim of this study is to verify if the variables of the 6D Hofstede’s National Culture work as antecedents of the protection against corruption. They were analyzed through the Partial Least Squares method. The Distance of Power dimension showed an inverse effect in relation to the protection factors of corruption, that is, the lower the distance of power, the higher the protection against corruption. The Long Term Orientation dimension showed a positive effect in relation to the Institutional Quality factor. The Indulgence dimension showed a positive effect on the Democracy factor. Thus, a society that suppresses basic human needs related to well being or regulates them through rigid social norms tends to be less susceptible to corruption.
