A Multilevel Trust-based Model of Ethical Public Leadership

Journal of Business Ethics · 2018 · Volume 153 · Issue 1

Abstract

In our 2011 assessment of Corruption in the UK, we found a considerable degree of public concern about corruption in local government… Paradoxically, there seemed to be little evidence of widespread corruption taking place, other than these high-profile cases. There might be many explanations for this, such as under-reporting, a prevalence of low-level corruption that is not investigated and poor scrutiny mechanisms – or, indeed, that there is relatively little corruption in UK local government.(Transparency International UK2013, p. 3)
