Abstract

Corruption poses a significant ethical challenge within the construction sector, which is often characterized as one of the most susceptible industries to corrupt practices. Corruption has a substantial negative impact on the quality and effectiveness of construction projects. In an effort to address this issue, the authors conducted a comprehensive literature review to identify effective strategies for reducing corruption in the construction industry. Employing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) framework, the researchers meticulously assessed 19 relevant peer-reviewed articles. The review yielded a set of six key measures that can be employed to mitigate corruption within construction workplaces. These measures encompass regulatory, administrative, compliance, promotional, investigative, and disciplinary strategies. Accordingly, the study provides a thorough explanation of these identified measures, offering valuable insights for construction practitioners and policymakers alike in their battle against corruption. Consequently, this research makes a substantial contribution to the field of construction engineering and management.
