Trust and confidence in the shadow of corruption : A Statistical Analysis of Citizens' Perceptions of Corruption in Swedish Public Administration (English)
Abstract [en]

This study explores the relationship between citizens' perceptions of corruption within the public administration and their confidence in public institutions in Sweden. By analyzing data from the 2022 SOM survey, significant associations are identified between gender, age, education level, trust in others, and political preferences with perceptions of corruption and confidence in public authorities. Higher education levels are associated with lower perceptions of corruption, while trust in others impacts both corruption perceptions and confidence in institutions. The study uncovers a paradox where, despite high confidence in authorities, a significant portion of citizens perceives corruption among public officials. Thediscussion delves into theoretical perspectives such as institutional theory and cultural dimensions. Future research can further explore this paradox and enhance transparency within the public sector.

Abstract [sv]

Denna studie utforskar sambandet mellan medborgarnas uppfattningar om korruption inom den offentliga förvaltningen och deras förtroende för offentliga institutioner i Sverige. Genom analys av data från SOM-undersökningen 2022 identifieras signifikanta samband mellan kön, ålder, utbildningsnivå, tillit till andra människor och politiska preferenser med korruptionsuppfattningar och förtroende för myndigheter. Resultaten indikerar att högre utbildning är associerad med lägre korruptionsuppfattningar, medan tillit till andra påverkar både korruptionsuppfattningar och förtroende för institutioner. Studien avslöjar en paradox där trots högt förtroende för myndigheter, en betydande andel av medborgarna uppfattar korruption bland offentliga tjänstemän. Diskussionen utforskar teoretiska perspektiv som institutionell teori och kulturella dimensioner. Framtida forskning kan fortsätta att utforska denna paradox och öka transparensen inom den offentliga sektorn.
