Several non-OECD countries have relatively low socio-economic performance, poor governance, and a fair amount of corruption among civil servants, yet their citizens report higher trust in the civil services than do citizens in OECD countries. To understand this mismatch, this study provides an explanation, arguing that an authoritarian cultural orientation in some societies can contribute to citizens having relatively high institutional trust despite the poor performance and weak governance of public institutions. Based on country-representative survey data from three South Asian countries (Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka), the argument is that because of such an orientation, a hierarchical relationship is developed with the authorities which generates natural obedience to them. This, in turn, contributes to their higher level of institutional trust.

将社会经济绩效，治理质量和对公务员制度的信任联系起来：文化是否干预了人们认为的关系？来自孟加拉国，尼泊尔和斯里兰卡的证据

一些非经合组织国家的社会经济绩效相对较低，治理不善，公务员中有相当多的腐败，但其公民对公务员的信任度高于经合组织国家。为了理解这种不匹配，本研究提供了一种解释，认为在某些社会中，专制文化取向可以使公民拥有相对较高的机构信任度，尽管公共机构绩效不佳且治理薄弱。根据来自三个南亚国家（孟加拉国，尼泊尔和斯里兰卡）的国家代表性调查数据，论点是，由于这种定位，与当局建立了等级关系，从而自然服从了它们。反过来，
