The Occurrence Logic of″Non-Criminal Corruption″—A Fuzzy-Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis Based on the Provincial ″Four Form″Data in China
Existing corruption research focuses on criminal corruption while overlooking the equally important non-criminal corruption.Based on principal-agent theory and routine activity theory,a frame-work for analyzing ″non-criminal corruption″was constructed.The study found that,Among the 31 pro-vincial-level administrative regions in China,both high and low occurrences of non-criminal corruption result from multiple concurrent mechanisms,with complex interactions between various triggering factors,and a phenomenon of causal asymmetry.There are five paths inducing non-criminal corruption:"oppor-tunity-induced type",″opportunity-induced and supervision-lacking type″,″inadequate salary type″,″transparency-motivation-goal interaction type″,and″four-dimensional interaction type″.In addition,there are five paths hindering the occurrence of non-criminal corruption:″passive clean type″,″supervision in-hibition type″,″transparency inhibition type″,″transparency inhibition with high salaries for integrity type″,and ″supervision inhibition with high salaries for integrity type ″.For non-criminal corruption,the four dimensions within the agency-routine framework are not completely symmetrical,with the objective dimension being more important than the other three.
