Working conditions and corruption tolerance among Police Officers in Albania| Policy paper

December 2020 -This paper focuses on the preventative approach to corruption in the police force, paying particular attention to measures that target the factors which have been proven to increase the incentives and opportunities for police corruption. The main goal is to understand the extent to which current working conditions and the organisational culture shape police officers’ perceptions on corruption tolerance in their line of work. The analysis addresses the following questions:

  • How do human resource management systems (reward management, such as pay, benefits and training) affect predispositions to corruption?
  • How does the organisation’s ethical climate (the existence and communication of ethical and integrity guidelines, or a code of conduct) impact on predispositions to corruption?
