“…All over the world, corruption has enormous consequences on societies and economies (Warf, 2015a, 2015b). Depending on its magnitude, corruption may have detrimental effects on public finances as governments collect less tax in revenue and over pay for goods and services (Mauro et al , 2019).…”

“…Meanwhile, Robbins (2000) studied corruption in Indian forest management. On the other hand, the global geographies of corruption, geographies of African corruption and spatiality of corruption in the Middle East and North Africa have been examined by Warf (2015a, 2015b, 2017). Similarly, in a cross country analysis, Rajeev and Nelson (2008) examined the geographical determinants of corruption.…”

Purpose Globally, corruption has been identified as a major problem. Even though corruption is widespread, it varies in magnitude, types and consequences. In Nigeria, corruption is endemic, and it is responsible for the many socioeconomic problems in the country. Hence, the study aims to determine the patterns and state level correlations of corruption in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach Data for this study were sourced from the National Bureau of Statistics and other official sources and were analyzed with Global Moran’s I, Local Moran’s I and multivariate step-wise regression. Findings This study’s findings revealed significant clustering of corruption in the country with Rivers States as the only hotspot (I = 0.068; z = 2.524; p < 0.05), while domestic debt and market size were the state level significant predictors. Research limitations/implications Only bribery as a form of corruption was examined in this study, more studies are needed on the predictors of other forms of corruption. Practical implications This study recommends increased market competition through investment grants, subsidies and tax incentives to facilitate trade interactions among Nigerians, which can lead to exchange of cultural norms that discourage corruption. It is also advocated that domestic debt must be effectively and efficiently channelled towards economic development which in the long run will have a positive impact on the socio-economic well-being of the citizens as well as drive down corrupt practices. Originality/value Although the causes of corruption have received considerable attention in the literature, little is known on the geographical distribution and the effect of market size and domestic debt on corruption in Nigeria.

“…Transparency International (TI) defines corruption as the misuse of authority for personal gain. According to Warf (2015), corruption is a behavior that is widespread throughout the MENA region and deeply rooted in the region, and Sudan is no exception. Political systems and cultural norms have an impact on corruption in the MENA region (Shaibi, 1999, October).…”

The study aims to use Hedonism and Social Identity theories to explain why Sudanese people use Wasta in excess. The authors empirically investigate the connection between corruption in Sudan and Wasta, a social network of interpersonal relations implanted in lineage, tribe, family, and extended connections. Utilizing the Structural Equation Modeling technique, the authors examined the three hypotheses by collecting primary data (N=410) from male and female private sector employees in Sudan via Google Survey Link. Wasta and corruption have a positive and significant relationship, according to the study's results. The findings also conclude that, out of the three Wasta components (Mojamala, Hamola, and Somah), Hamola and Somah are the most influential Wasta factors that drive corruption. The findings validate the three Wasta dimensions and help researchers utilize a Wasta conceptual framework for the link between Wasta and corruption. International investors may be capable of coping, thriving, and prospering in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) without disregarding their regulations of business ethics if practitioners apprehend the concept of Wasta. Also, foreign enterprises doing business in Sudan and the MENA profit from having a concrete familiarity with Wasta because it makes them conscious of the overlooked needle of Wasta, encourages them to endure proactive measures and lessens the likelihood of bribery. In addition, apprehending Wasta would inspire multinational corporations to prioritize the development of practicum programs that prepare global assignees about the significance of cultural norms, and values. And how business firms in the MENA are influenced by national culture.
