Abstract

Corruption represents a complex problem firmly embedded within our societal structures, governments, and organisations. The current study aimed to build a clearer consensus on the extent to which perceptions of organisational corruption are associated with organisational hierarchy. Two high-powered close replications of studies 1c and 6 by Fath and Kay (2018) provide further evidence for the claim that taller organisational structures are associated with greater perceived potential for corruption, and that these perceptions may compromise subsequent trust-related behaviour. Our results reinforce the importance of organisational design and aim to inspire future works to consider the ways in which researchers and organisations can minimise corruption.
