Özet
The present study is part of a much larger study that examined the ethics of bribery and the ethics of tax evasion from a variety of perspectives. In this study, data were taken from the most recent World Values Survey. This chapter focused on Muslim views on the ethics of accepting a bribe. Overall, opposition to taking a bribe was strong; 69% believed that taking a bribe could never be justified. The youngest age group (16–29) was significantly more open to the idea of taking a bribe than were the three older age groups. Those with a tertiary education were significantly more opposed to bribe taking than were the other groups. Homemakers not otherwise employed had the strongest opposition to bribe taking, while those working part-time tended to have significantly less opposition to bribe taking than several other groups. The upper social class had the least opposition to bribe taking, while the working class showed the strongest opposition. Those in the highest income level had the least opposition to bribe taking (perhaps because a portion of their income derived from taking bribes?). Those who were quite happy were significantly more opposed to bribe taking than were those in the not at all happy category. Those in the private nonprofit sector were significantly less opposed to bribe taking than those in the government or private business sector. Those who did not have very much confidence in the government were significantly less opposed to bribe taking than were the other three groups. Gender, marital status, and position on the political spectrum were not significant variables. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
