The Performance Accountability of the Public Bureaucracy in Prevention of Corruption, Collusion and Nepotism Behavior

Abstract

Corrupt behavior in the bureaucratic environment tends to increase, and is even carried out in various new modes. The government's efforts to prevent corruption have been carried out by establishing a KPK institution, and or through various regulations to minimize the occurrence of criminal acts of bureaucratic corruption. There are several factors that encourage corruption, namely internal factors that exist within the individual, and external factors that develop in their environment. Internal factors are closely related to personal qualities that are shown through moral characters such as integrity or honesty. Meanwhile, external factors are triggered due to pressure and encouragement from the environment that allows for deviant actions. One of the prevention strategies carried out in a bureaucratic environment is to increase the accountability of the performance of public institutions. Accountability is a form of accountability from the government apparatus for all its policies and actions to the public. By adhering to the principle of accountability, it will minimize the occurrence of irregularities in carrying out its duties and functions. For that, it is necessary to strengthen and develop a system of accountability that is precise and clear, so that governance can run properly and accountably.
