Previous studies have posited that women are less tolerant of unethical behaviors than men and have found that countries with a greater percentage of women in government are associated with lower levels of corruption. Nonetheless, recent studies have hypothesized that the effect of women on corruption is dependent on institutional and cultural environments in which they work. The aim of this study is to empirically test if the effect of women in government on country-level corruption is dependent on culture using cross-country data. Through a series of regressions, moderating terms between women in government and Hofstede’s cultural dimensions are added to empirically test the moderating effect of culture. This study offers empirical evidence that the effect of women in government on corruption is dependent on Hofstede’s individual cultural dimension, supporting recent claims that the effect of women on corruption is indeed dependent on cultural contexts.

文化，腐败和政府中的女性

先前的研究认为，女性对道德行为的容忍度要低于男性，并发现，女性在政府中所占比例较高的国家腐败程度较低。但是，最近的研究假设，妇女对腐败的影响取决于她们工作的体制和文化环境。这项研究的目的是使用跨国数据通过经验检验妇女在政府中对国家级腐败的影响是否取决于文化。通过一系列回归，添加了政府中女性与霍夫斯泰德文化维度之间的调节词，以实证检验文化的调节作用。
