metadata.value: The persistence of corruption in Russia is seen in path-dependent political structures on the
  one hand, while, on the other hand, concrete corruption-promoting mechanisms can be theoretically
  described at the level of the actor. The former approach lacks a general explanation
  of corruption, while the latter lacks the immanent possibility of embedding corrupt practices
  in specific cultural patterns. Recent approaches in organizational research promise a fruitful
  connection of both via the idea of organizational corruption, which explains corruption as a
  normalization process in an organizational context. The present article aims at extending this
  approach by an analytical model of decision-making in organizations based on a neo-institutional
  framework. Decision-making situations will be constructed in the activity structure of
  organizations as the tension between formal-legal requirements and the legitimate goals of the
  organization as set out in the formal structure. Depending on whether decisions are oriented
  in accordance or or against legal requirements and the legitimate goals of the organization, a
  compliant decision, individual corruption, organizational corruption or whistle blowing becomes
  more likely. Thus, the link between different cultural concepts in Russia and corruption
  are systematically highlighted and integrated into the present model. It is shown that culturalhistorical
  patterns cannot be generalized to Russia, but often only promote corruption when
  specifically embedded in organizations.
