“…Systematic corruption, on the other hand, has been defined as 'deviant conduct which is so institutionalized that no individual can be personally faulted organisationally for participation (Blunt and Popoola 1998). It affects the functioning of the whole system (Caiden and Caiden, 1997;341). The issue of systematic corruption has been identified in a study by Price (1995) on the Ghanaian Civil Service.…”

The issue of employees' performance in furtherance of organisational objectives has occupied management attention for long. Differences in levels of performance have been attributed to differences in skills and abilities on the one hand, and to different theories of money on the other. This study examined the issue of performance-based pay as a motivational tool for achieving organisational performance, using the situation in a manufacturing company in Ghana as a case study. The main objective of the study was to assess the impact of performance-related pay on the motivation of employees and, subsequently, on the achievement of organisational goals. In all, one hundred and fifty respondents took part in the survey. The sample comprised 20 managerial staff and 60 non-managerial staff. The main research instrument was the questionnaire. A two-way ANOVA table was used to test the main hypotheses. The result of the study revealed that the effect of performance-based pay on employee performance is minimal; and the motivational effect of merit pay is often blunted by biased performance appraisal. The main limitation of the study is that it could not cover all manufacturing companies within the target population, due to time and financial constraints. In this respect, the interpretation of the results of the study should not be over-generalised.

“…Closed, totalitarian societies may allow scandals to exist, but only for specific reasons so as to make a political point. Insider accounts of closed societies paint a picture of total corruption where wrongdoing has become the norm, at least from the standpoint and definitions of the Western world (Caiden and Caiden, 1977;Solzhenitsyn, 1962).…”

“…The literature often distinguishes main causes of corruption in low-income countries and highincome countries. The low-wage and poor working conditions increase the chance of corruption while in the Western (higher income levels) societies, corruption is seen as an exception rather than a habit (Caiden, 2001). Corruption is a particular illegal state-society relationship (Gbetnkom, 2012), civil servants or bureaucrats hold authoritative positions represent the state and the outsiders who are affected by corruption positively or negatively represent the society (Donwa, Mgbame, & Julius, 2015).…”

Corruption is a curse for any country, as it negatively affects the economic activities and drags the whole society to worst conditions by increasing the poverty and social inequities. Recently the most critical factor for doing business in Pakistan is corruption. In order to give a comprehensive picture of corruption in Pakistan this article (1) critically analyses the literature regarding corruption, its impact on society and the business environment specifically in Pakistan, (2) focuses on business-related factors of corruption, (3) presents various anti-corruption initiatives of Pakistani companies and foreign good examples. Based on our research this study emphasizes that the government should take corrective actions and strengthen institutions and should work in collaboration with the private and civil sector to control the uprising corruption problems. Awareness against corruption in business sphere and general public is very much needed and implementing possible anti-corruption tools, companies can positively contribute to the fight against corruption and Pakistan's economic and social development.
