Abstrakty
Artykuł podejmuje problematykę korupcji i metod jej przeciwdziałania. Celem jest odpowiedź na pytanie, czy zastosowanie w administracji publicznej technologii informacyjnych, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem Internetu, przyczynia się do ograniczenia postrzegania korupcji w danym kraju. Na podstawie literatury zidentyfikowano determinanty korupcji w aspektach: politycznym, gospodarczym i kulturowym. W celu weryfikacji postawionej hipotezy, dotyczącej wpływu rozwoju usług internetowych świadczonych przez państwo na poziom postrzeganej korupcji, przeprowadzono badanie empiryczne z wykorzystaniem danych panelowych dla 129 krajów za lata 2008-2019. Jest to najdłuższy okres, dla którego możliwe jest wykorzystanie aktualnych danych. Uzyskane wyniki potwierdzają skuteczność e-government jako narzędzia przeciwdziałania korupcji. W artykule zwrócono również uwagę na ograniczenia związane z rozwojem usług elektronicznych w administracji, które wynikają w głównej mierze z barier edukacyjnych i infrastrukturalnych, ale także z dopiero rozwijającego się popytu na takie usługi.(abstrakt oryginalny)
In this paper, we focus on corruption and on methods for counteracting it. Our aim is to investigate whether the use of information technology, especially the internet, in public administration contributes to reducing the perception of corruption in a given country. Based on existing research reports, we identify the political, economic and cultural determinants of corruption. In order to verify our hypothesis about the impact of the development of public services provided online on the level of perceived corruption, we use panel data for 129 countries for the 2008-2019 period. Our results confirm the effectiveness of e-government as a tool for counteracting corruption. We also highlight the limitations of the development of electronic services in public administration. These are mainly due to educational and infrastructural barriers, but also on account of freshly growing demand for such services. (original abstract)
