Abstract

Corruption is considered one of the substantial challenges to economic growth and development worldwide. This study uses partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) techniques to integrate globalisation related, socio-economic and corruption determinants in assessing causal relationships between them and their effects on anti-corruption in China during President Xi’s launch of the anti-corruption campaign. The results of the authors’ analysis show that the determinants of globalisation have an indirect effect on the anti-corruption and socio-economic determinants and a direct effect on corruption. The negative effect of corruption’s latent construct on the socio-economic latent variable supports the ‘sand the wheels theory.
