説明
<p>Are workers’ preferences the same in private and public sectors? To prevent fraud by civil servants, are the methods commonly used in the private sector effective in the public sector? To answer these questions, we conducted an online experiment to investigate the differences between private and public workers’ dishonest behaviors. The results of the experiment indicated that public servants were more honest than private workers. The correlations between dishonesty and demographic variables differed between private workers and public servants. We found that the correlations between dishonesty and economic preferences (e.g., risk preference) are almost different between private workers and public servants. Our findings suggest that the same anti-corruption methods implemented in the private sector might not be effective in the public sector.</p>
