Response strategy is a key for preventing widespread corruption vulnerabilities in the public construction sector. Although several studies have been devoted to this area, the effectiveness of response strategies has seldom been evaluated in China. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating the effectiveness of response strategies for corruption vulnerabilities through a survey in the Chinese public construction sector. Survey data obtained from selected experts involved in the Chinese public construction sector were analyzed by factor analysis and partial least squares-structural equation modeling. Analysis results showed that four response strategies of leadership, rules and regulations, training, and sanctions, only achieved an acceptable level in preventing corruption vulnerabilities in the Chinese public construction sector. This study contributes to knowledge by improving the understanding of the effectiveness of response strategies for corruption vulnerabilities in the public construction sector of developing countries.
应对策略是预防公共建设部门广泛存在的腐败漏洞的关键。尽管已有多项研究致力于该领域,但在中国,应对策略的有效性很少得到评估。本研究旨在通过对中国公共建设部门进行调查,研究应对腐败漏洞的策略的有效性,以填补这一空白。通过因子分析和偏最小二乘结构方程模型,对从参与中国公共建设部门的选定专家处获得的调查数据进行了分析。分析结果表明,领导、规章制度、培训和制裁这四种应对策略在中国公共建设部门预防腐败漏洞方面仅达到了可接受的水平。本研究通过增进对发展中国家公共建设部门腐败漏洞应对策略有效性的理解,为知识积累做出了贡献。
