Corruption in a System Dynamics Perspective (Case Study from Indonesia)

Abstract

Corruption is one of the complex problems that occur today. The research case is Indonesia as a case study to analyze the dynamics in corruption by explaining the factors that cause corruption. To achieve this goal, the research method is mixed method. Where the initial stage is carried out by comparing cases, laws and regulations, and theories related to corruption in Indonesia. To evaluate corrupt practices, a system dynamics model was developed by mapping the factors causing corruption. The results showed that the cause of corruption was due to individual and structural factors. Structural factors are control factors. The more effective the monitoring system, the less chance of corruption. On the other hand, if corruption is still widely practiced, it means that something is wrong in the monitoring system. while what is meant by individual factors is the low level of morale and integrity of employees and leaders. So, if you pay attention, the Indonesian government is not non-existent laws and regulations, but due to various factors that are outside the government structure, if the government controls corrupt people in any structure, that structure will definitely be affected.
