行贿意愿差异与大湾区廉政合作治理:基于A市与香港的比较研究

粤港澳大湾区各城市在社会环境上的差异,既是廉政建设区域间合作的挑战,也是机遇。在不同的社会背景下,人们对腐败的认知和接受程度不同,这在很大程度上通过行贿意愿的差异呈现。因此,了解社会环境对行贿意愿的影响,不仅有助于制定行之有效的廉政治理策略,也凸显不同地区之间信息交流和治理合作的重要性。那么,在不同的社会场景下,人们的行贿意愿会有怎样的差异?受到哪些社会环境因素的影响?行贿意愿差异的比较研究对廉政合作治理具有什么理论和政策涵义?新制度主义理论为回答这些问题提供了有益的启发。2019年在香港与大湾区A城市所作的问卷调查为不同地区相异的社会条件下的行贿意愿差异提供了分析依据。研究结果表明,在行贿场景所预示的社会条件发生变化时,市民行贿的意愿也随之变化。这种变化受到制度环境因素和社会环境因素两方面的影响。因此,在香港与大湾区其他城市社会条件不尽相同、而经济和社会交往又不断增加的情况下,如何抑制跨境贿赂是廉政合作治理必须面对的重要问题。

Bribery Propensities and Integrity Governance in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area: A Comparative Study of City A and Hong Kong

Social diversity across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area(Greater Bay Area) provides challenges and opportunities for inter-governmental collaboration in corruption prevention. Under different social contexts, people have different perceptions of corruption,some of which are manifested through propensities for bribery. A better understanding of the impact of the social context of bribery propensities is important not only for making effective anti-corruption policies, but also for enhancing cross-regional communications and collaboration. How do people’s bribery propensities vary under different social contexts? What social factors cause the variation?What theoretical and practical implications does a comparative analysis of bribery propensities have for collaborative governance? New institutionalist theory offers a good perspective for addressing these questions. Empirical results from two similar surveys conducted in Hong Kong and in City A of the Greater Bay Area provide strong evidence to show the impact of social contexts on bribery intentions. They indicate that,driven by institutional and societal factors,the propensity to bribe changes under different social conditions. As interactions between Hong Kong and mainland cities continue to rise while social environments remain different,preventing cross-regional corruption poses a challenge to collaborative governance in the Greater Bay Area.
