Abstract

This paper employs cognitive dissonance theory to investigate the mediating effect of Overcompensation of Rationalisation (OCR) on instrumental climate and escalation of corruption relationship. Moreover, this study examines the role of loyalty as a moderator to reduce the impact of instrumental climate on OCR. This study uses laboratory experiments with 94 master’s degree students as participants. The results show that OCR fully mediates the relationship between the instrumental climate and the escalation of corruption. Instrumental climate leads an individual to OCR, which impacts on the corruption escalation. The analysis also shows that loyalty can moderate the effect of instrumental climate on OCR. It indicates that a level of loyalty enables an individual to filter the impact of instrumental climate on OCR. Besides, the intention of corruption also contributes to the escalation and snowballing effect of corruption. Surprisingly, it is also found that individuals with their experiences tend to be more expert, skilful, and efficient in committing acts of corruption. Those enable the perpetrator to be corrupt smoothly; the amount of corruption, in aggregate, is more massive without the increase of maximum scores so it can lead the evaluator on.

合理化过度补偿对工具气候与腐败关系升级的中介作用

本文运用认知失调理论研究了理性化过度补偿对工具气氛和腐败关系升级的中介作用。此外，本研究还考察了忠诚作为调节因子的作用，以降低工具气候对OCR的影响。本研究以94名硕士生为实验对象。结果表明，OCR在工具气候与腐败升级的关系中起着完全的中介作用。工具气候导致个体的OCR行为，进而影响腐败升级。分析还表明，忠诚可以调节工具气候对OCR的影响。这表明，一定程度的忠诚使个人能够过滤仪器气候对OCR的影响。此外，腐败的意图也会导致腐败的升级和滚雪球效应。令人惊讶的是，研究还发现，拥有这些经验的人在实施腐败行为时往往更专业、更熟练、更高效。这些使犯罪者能够顺利腐败;总的来说，没有增加最高分数，腐败的数量就会更大，这样就可以引导评估者。
