Неинституциональные аспекты регулирования конфликта интересов: роль факторов доверия и индивидуализма
Anti-corruption policy should not only identify the facts of corruption and punish the crimes already commit-ted, but also introduce preventive measures to minimize the risks of corrupt behavior, especially a system of regulating conflicts of interest. The latter includes measures ranging from prohibiting or restricting the re-ceipt of gifts by officials, to introducing a cooling-off period when a civil servant enters the private sector. Generally, all measures of conflict of interest regulations can be attributed to three basic models: com-pliance-based model, integrity-based model, and adaptation model, which will also be considered in the ar-ticle. This paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of conflict-of-interest regulatory models through the prism of non-institutional factors. To this end, data from the World Values Survey was used as a source for this study, specifically data on levels of individualism and trust in society. The results of the multiple regres-sion analysis partially supported the hypothesis that the professional culture model copes better with conflict-of-interest regulation than other models in conditions of high levels of trust and individualism. The results, however, provide a basis for further research to develop a more comprehensive strategy for regulating con-flicts of interest based on various external and internal conditions.
