Abstract
Corruption is commonly characterized as the use of delegated authority for personal benefit. This comprehensive definition includes a range of behaviors and activities, including as bribery, nepotism, and embezzlement. Corruption is said to stem from the interaction between public officials and private individuals or corporations, in which the former has discretionary power that they can manipulate for personal gain. Corruption, as usually defined, refers to the misconduct of public officials who stray from accepted rules in order to pursue personal interests. This claim is substantiated by the fact that the so-called "accepted norms" undergo periodic changes. The precise delineation of corruption is often ambiguous. At a specific area and time, individuals do not universally perceive norms in the same manner or sense. Nevertheless, there is a unanimous consensus that corruption is universally regarded as a detrimental phenomenon, consistently manifesting as an aberrant conduct. It is necessary to acknowledge that the assessment of corruption relies heavily on the perception of it, which is significantly shaped by economic, social, political, and cultural variables. While the connection between the perception of corruption and actual corruption is clear, the direction of this link may not align with public opinion. The impression of corruption is shaped by various circumstances, just as the assessment of the extent of corruption is influenced. A significant distinction between the two concepts lies in the fact that while the definition of corruption level is based on a group-level interpretation, corruption perception is more individualized. The projection of perception at the group level through an averaged, aggregated indicator is highly distorting, as it fails to capture relevant information. In the context of a globalized economy, there is an increasing demand for indicators and instruments that can effectively capture intricate phenomena.
