政治學傳統上對貪腐問題的宏觀研究方法,正面臨不同學科研究成果的挑戰,有必要引入其他學科的觀點,改進政治學在貪腐研究上的困境。事實上,腐化不僅是一種不正常的組織行為,更是一種人際心態的轉變歷程。因此本文主要藉由Albert Bandura(1986)的「道德疏離」(moral disengagement)理論典範,探討個體心理機制在組織腐化過程中扮演的角色,及其後續與組織交互作用後產生的效應,目的在於說明為什麼公務員會從社會期待的公平正義的維護者,轉變為維謢自身利益的貪污者,以補充政治科學研究在這方面研究的不足。經由理論的推導,本文初步發現,道德疏離的心理機制,的確容易導引組織朝向腐化發展,這些效應再經由社會化與制度化歷程,使得組織腐化變為文化及結構的一部份。
In fact, corruption is not only an abnormal organization behavior, but also a change of attitude. This study explores how the role of individual mental mechanism plays in the process of individual corruption based on the theory of Albert Bandura (1986). However, the researcher found the influence of moral disengagement on corruption behavior affect not only mental phenomena but also the interaction of modern organization characteristics. Based on the theory of moral disengagement and the views of organization sociology, this research aims to study how corruption behavior spread from mental effect of individual to organization and how corruption inlay in organization through interaction and socialization. The research intends to explore the following questions: (1) How mental mechanisms of moral disengagement affect one's decision? (2) To explore the interaction between moral disengagement and organization characteristics and the process of individual corruption behaviors?
