Abstract

An importance of transparent and democratic procedure of government administration to achieve its’ goal of “Growth” was a bit set aside in the past when a growth-oriented paradigm was tend to dominate the public sector. However, over the course of economic growth, government administration has gotten transparency and procedural democracy and the public sector’s corruption matters in regards to government competency. As a consequence, the level of civil servant’s corruption has become the index for one country or society’s competency. Thus corruption of public servants is beyond individual’s breaking-bad and one of crucial factors which impacts trust building among people and national competencies. The corruption is relevant to local government’s competency as well as central government. Since the beginning of local autonomy system in 1995, there has been 5 terms of elected official, and now is 6th term. Still there are corruption problems to be solved. Earlier researches on corruption of civil servants are mainly about what the corruption actually impacts on. They found out the cause of the corruption by conducting a survey of awareness of civil servants and citizen and the suggestions of researchers on the management tools for corruption are often tend to be theoretical and subjective. As a result, it is hard to find the study on the corruption control and management in local civil servants. Especially there can be found almost no dissertation or thesis on substantive and effective corruption management tool for local government based on actual case by case study. Two decades after the local autonomy system introduced, it is needed to study the cause of the corruption and its management plan to build the trust toward the public sector and to raise the efficiency of business administration surely focused on local governments. For these reasons, this study analyzes earlier researches and organizes conceptual discussion related to the corruption. This research analyzed the changes of actual corruption situation from “A” metropolitan city and did a survey on civil servants’ awareness of the violation of maintaining dignity duty. Based on above mentioned analysis data, I did a AHP research to make a corruption management plan for local government. Although this study suggest the corruption management strategy out of deliberated analysis of corruption situations of local government. there are following limitations. First, the data on actual corruption cases somehow have individuals’ personal information, thus there are constraints of in-depth analysis of corrution situation. Furthermore, there are limitations to do a generalization of the real corruption case since the data used here are only from just “A” metropolitan city. Second, this research conducted a survey on civil servants’ awareness of the violation of maintaining dignity duty as the perception of corruption was recently expanded, hence there are some constraints as well to generalize the research findings. Moreover, despite that there are various cases of violation of maintaining dignity duty, this study focused mainly on driving under the influence cases to present the cause and its solution as a management plan for the corruption.
