Good Governance as a Strategy to Curb Public Sector Corruption: A Bibliometric Analysis
Keywords:
Corruption; Public Sector; Governance; Bibliometric AnalysisAbstract
Corruption is a global issue that affects countries across the world. Efforts to combat corruption can be undertaken through various means, one of which is the implementation of good governance. This study aims to examine the role of governance in anti-corruption efforts and to explore other contributing factors.. To identify relevant articles, this study employed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach, following the four framework stages: identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion, based on articles retrieved from the Scopus.com database. The authors adopted a bibliometric analysis approach, which has gained popularity in recent years, and utilized VOSViewer software to analyze author networks and keyword co-occurrences. The findings of this study indicate that governance, when optimally and effectively implemented in public sector institutions and supported by the application of public sector accounting, plays a significant role in enhancing the quality of governance, thereby contributing to the reduction of corruption in the public sector. This research provides an overview of how good governance can contribute to efforts in reducing corruption within public sector institutions.Downloads
