“…First, duty type is included because different groups of officers are likely to have different norms/values, and attitudes due to the different natures of respective police practices (Haarr, 1997;Ingram et al, 2013;Reuss-Ianni, 1983). Several recent studies show that the presence of officers' bifurcated duty types (inside-duty vs outside-duty) explain variation in officers' attitudes toward record-discretion (Shim et al, 2015), as well as corruption (Lee et al, 2013). Second, departmental size also needs to be considered.…”

“…Added to this, the average age and length of service of respondents are about 39 years old and 13 years, respectively (see the Appendix). These individual characteristics are comparable to the whole population of the South Korean police which is a centralized national force (see Shim et al, 2015). Since there are no variables with more than 2 percent of missing values, the use of "full information maximum likelihood" (FIML) is considered.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore whether the relation between police transformational leadership and organizational commitment is mediated by organizational culture. Drawing on the competing values framework (Quinn, 1988), four types of cultural orientations (group, developmental, hierarchical, and rational) are analyzed. Design/methodology/approach – In total, 358 South Korean police officers are surveyed. Using competing values as multiple mediators, a parallel four mediator model is estimated. Bias-corrected bootstrapping methods are employed to consider the small sample size, as well as the possible non-normal distribution of specific indirect effects. Findings – The linkage between transformational leadership and commitment appears to be fully mediated by group culture. Interestingly, multiple individual officer characteristics, duty type, and departmental size do not impact respective constructs overall. Research limitations/implications – The use of cross-sectional data hinders causal ordering among constructs included. Practical implications – Given the full mediation relationships among the three constructs, it is advisable to develop more nuanced leadership training programs optimized for fostering “considerate and supportive leaders” who have been known to impact group culture. Originality/value – Including two understudied police organizational correlates (i.e. transformational leadership and organizational culture), this study accounts for the mediating role of organizational culture in the transformational leadership-commitment link with multiple variables frequently used in previous research being controlled.

“…As is well known that, the executive is one of the parties that should also be supervised by the KPK itself. So far, the impact of the KPK position has affected many things from the decline of Indonesia's CPI score to the dismissal of KPK employees who are considered not to pass the National Insight Test (TWK) (Shim et al, 2015). Eradicating corruption is increasingly difficult because in addition to the revision of the KPK Law, there is also still a pandemic atmosphere, where the face of new corruption begins to appear from the many cases of procurement corruption ranging from health tools, vaccines, masks and others.…”

<div><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"><tbody><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p class="AbstractText">The Corruption Eradication Commission is introducing new laws on corruption. However, the crucial questions are whether the said laws effectively decrease corruption cases, including corruption in public procurement. The number of factors that result in corruption is increasing, especially in the public procurement sector. One of the most important things that can't be ignored is that the public doesn't take part in supervision. This study aims to examine how to reduce corruption in public procurement through an effort towards good governance. The study takes <em>a socio-legal approach. By reviewing some review literature relevant to public procurement corruption, as well as reports by multiple authorities tracking the same subject. </em>This study<em> </em>concludes<em> </em>that<em> public procurement law policies in Indonesia have not worked well. This is one of them, influenced by corrupt law enforcement officials and the irresponsible political elite. As a result, existing legal regulations are not properly implemented.</em></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div>

“…However, a strong collectivist culture derived from traditional Confucian society still exists. These social and cultural characteristics are also applied to police organizations, and they emphasize groups and solidarity rather than individuals and tend to have a high level of “Code of Silence” (Shim et al ., 2015).…”

PurposeRecently, the interest of scholars studying procedural justice in policing has shifted from the relationship between procedural justice and citizen compliance to trust in police officers’ perceptions of who exercises it. This study explores the relationship between organizational justice and the perception of procedural justice from the perspective of police officers. Furthermore, it investigates the mediating roles of discretion and responsiveness.Design/methodology/approachUsing 441 survey responses from South Korean police officers, a mediation model is outlined and tested using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results showed that police officers’ perceptions of organizational justice had indirect effects on the perceived importance of procedural justice. Moreover, discretion and responsiveness mediate the relationship between organizational justice and perceived procedural justice.FindingsOfficers who perceive police fairness are more likely to have a positive perception of procedural justice toward citizens when they have a higher level of discretion and responsiveness. However, police officers’ perceptions of organizational justice are not directly linked to their perceptions of procedural justice.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the generalization of knowledge by empirically testing Van Craen’s theoretical model of the Korean police. It also expands the existing theoretical model by investigating the influence of overall organizational justice and its possible mediators on procedural justice.
