“…These tasks require proper coordination, effective workflow management, and timely service delivery. Performance management systems help identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement in the land administration processes (Ahmed, Din and Khan, 2016). By establishing performance indicators, agencies can monitor their efficiency, identify inefficiencies, and take corrective actions to streamline their operations.…”

Land administration plays a crucial role in ensuring effective land governance, economic development, and social stability. Performance management systems are essential tools for evaluating and improving the performance of land administration institutions. However, limited research has been conducted to assess the effectiveness and long-term sustainability of these systems in the context of land administration, particularly in Botswana.

“…In corrupt nations, public service providers often receive inadequate compensation, which leads to low motivation to improve service delivery and hinders engagement in HIE (Crepaz, 2021). Corruption has been observed to hinder sustainable healthcare services in a country by paralyzing policy-making and administration services (Ahmed and Abbas, 2022).…”

Purpose Health Information Exchange (HIE) is essential for the efficient and cost-effective delivery of health-care services. The provider’s administrative structure and external environment can substantially influence adopting technologies involving inter-organizational linkages, such as HIE. Using the theoretical lens of institutional theory, this study aims to compare how public and private hospitals' engagement in HIE is influenced by corruption and government online services or e-government usage. Design/methodology/approach The study uses the positivist research design of secondary data analysis to test the six hypotheses proposed. Data from multiple third-party reliable sources, including the European Commission and World Bank, are combined into the final dataset consisting of observations from 1,442 hospitals across 30 countries in Europe. A multilevel modeling approach is used to associate country and hospital-level variables and test the hypothesis. Findings The study finds that, on average, a 10% increase in corruption leads to a 6.3% decrease, while a 10% increase in e-government leads to a 7% increase in the probability of HIE engagement for a hospital. The negative impact of corruption on average is 18% more in public than private hospitals, while the positive impact of e-government is 75% stronger in public in comparison to private hospitals. The study also finds that HIE engagements in health systems with predominantly public hospitals are more sensitive to corruption and e-government. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the study is one of the first to use the institutional view to test the influence of government actions and public providers' concentration on HIE engagement. The comparison of public and private institutions enriches our understanding of promoters and inhibitors of HIE.

“…Terrorism, deteriorating economic conditions, the energy and gas problem, and other tough realities of this nation may all be resolved largely by combating the corruption threat. Hence, it is essential that all parties involved, including political parties, public officials, members of civil society, private businesses, donor organizations, and regular citizens, unite and acknowledge their particular responsibilities for preventing corruption (Ahmed & Abbas, 2022). Given that corruption in Pakistan is a complicated problem with many facets and manifestations, preventative strategies must integrate a variety of techniques in order to lessen the incentives and possibilities for corruption while encouraging public servants to act morally.…”

Government and good governance are essential for social and economic progress. Nonetheless, Pakistan's poor reputation in international relations makes these characteristics outdated in Pakistan. In most cases, corruption is a likely result of circumstances such as desire and materialistic greed, higher degrees of governmental and market monopolization, low levels of democracy, poor civic engagement, and opaque political processes. The acceptance of corruption has grown through time even though it is pervasive in the nation. The goal of this study is to examine corruption in Pakistan, concentrating on the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), the primary anti-corruption agency in the country. The study examines various causes for the prevalence of corruption in Pakistan and strategies to reduce it. The study uses doctrinal qualitative analysis to situate the research within the ethical, legal and social parameters. The research methodology adopted is evaluative, interpretive and analytical. The study finds that NAB remained ineffective to curb the prevailing corruption in Pakistan. This study recommends that corruption in Pakistan would be reduced by exposing corrupt practices, maintaining an honest and responsible public sector, aiding in the cessation of unethical behavior, and ensuring that public sector employees act in the public interest.
