Abstract

ABSTRACT Globally, development projects faced severe problems because of various forms of corruption issues in the construction industry. Studies showed that anti-corruption agencies help to mitigate corrupt practices. However, there is a scarcity of studies regarding agencies' role on construction projects. Therefore, this paper investigated the moderating effect of the role of anti-corruption agencies as the moderating effect on the relationship between construction corruption forms and public projects delivery in Nigeria. SmartPLS was employed to analyse the collated data from the 450 respondents across Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria. Findings show that anti-corruption agencies role would enhance cost value, better performance, and quality of public projects delivery in Nigeria. This paper recommends a further empirical study to test and validate the developed framework across the country. As part of the practical implications, this paper suggests that the government should encourage non-interference in the constitutional duties of anti-corruption agencies.

反腐败机构对建筑腐败形式与工程交付关系的调节作用

在全球范围内，由于建筑行业各种形式的腐败问题，开发项目面临着严重的问题。研究表明，反腐败机构有助于减少腐败行为。然而，关于机构在建设项目中的作用的研究却很少。因此，本文考察了反腐机构在尼日利亚建筑腐败形式与公共项目交付关系中的调节作用。SmartPLS被用来分析来自尼日利亚拉各斯和阿布贾450名受访者的整理数据。调查结果表明，反腐败机构的作用将提高尼日利亚公共项目交付的成本价值、绩效和质量。本文建议进行进一步的实证研究，以在全国范围内检验和验证已开发的框架。作为实践意义的一部分，本文建议政府应鼓励不干涉反腐败机构的宪法职责。

期刊介绍： Planning, at urban, regional, national and international levels, faces new challenges, notably those related to the growth of globalisation as both an objective socio-economic process and a shift in policy-maker perceptions and modes of analysis. International Planning Studies (IPS) addresses these issues by publishing quality research in a variety of specific fields and from a range of theoretical and normative perspectives, which helps improve understanding of the actual and potential role of planning and planners in this context.
