TRANSFORMING GOVERNMENT:IMPACT OF INFORMATION SYSTEM INSTITUTIONALIZATION ON CORRUPTION IN THE BRAZILIAN PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM
- Share to:
Purpose – This study investigates the corruption practices from a behavioral perspective, and aims to
verify the impact of health Management Information System (MIS) institutionalization on corruption
vulnerabilities and the intention to commit corruption. The studied vulnerabilities are related to management:
lack of internal control, accountability, transparency and disburdened administration. This study was
conducted in the Brazilian public health system.
Design/methodology/approach – A research model and instrument were created based on the
literature. The model was later tested using the partial least squares technique. A survey of 355 valid
responses followed a pilot test with 87 ones. The respondents were civil servants of the Brazilian public
health system.
Findings – Seven of the eight hypotheses were confirmed, supporting the main hypothesis that MIS
institutionalization impacts individuals’ behavior by reducing their intention to commit corruption.
Institutionalized health MIS improves public management, enabling the prevention of favoritism when
awarding service provision contracts, undue payments to corrupt employees and waste of medical and
hospital supplies.
Originality/value – This research adds to the knowledge on corruption from an individual’s behavior
perspective influenced by MIS institutionalization in a Latin American perspective. Corruption is a social and
cultural-based phenomenon, which reinforces the importance of understanding the effect of Information
Systems institutionalization on corruption vulnerabilities in this context. A research model and instrument
were created and validated, confirming corruption vulnerabilities that influence behavior. The intention to
commit corruption is reduced when mediated by institutionalized MIS. Consequently, the focus must be
shifted from moral beliefs to creating and strengthening organizational capacity to systematically identify
and reduce vulnerabilities and deter misbehavior and wrongdoings.
