This study explores Islamic influences on corporate bribery practices in Indonesia. As the dominant religion in Indonesia, Islam substantially influences society in everyday life, including business practices. Although bribery issues in Indonesia have been raised in great numbers for many years, few studies have explored the role of Islamic influences in the ways businesspeople rationalize corporate bribery. This study aims to explore the lived experiences of businesspeople involved in corporate bribery. The authors conducted a phenomenological study to analyze the mindsets of businesspeople who used the Islamic religion to rationalize corporate bribery. To this end, a phenomenological study was conducted based on in-depth interviews with inmates who were imprisoned for their bribery practices in Indonesia. The interview data were subsequently analyzed and revealed several ways that Indonesian businesspeople invoked Islam to rationalize their practices of bribery and render them coherent with their mindsets. The analyses in this study provide insights into how to curb the rationalization of corporate bribery via religious perspectives and point to recommendations for future research.

这项研究探讨了伊斯兰教对印度尼西亚公司贿赂行为的影响。作为印度尼西亚的主要宗教，伊斯兰教在包括商业活动在内的日常生活中极大地影响着社会。尽管多年来在印度尼西亚大量提出了贿赂问题，但很少有研究探讨伊斯兰影响在商人合理化公司贿赂方式中的作用。这项研究旨在探索生活经历参与公司贿赂的商人。作者进行了一项现象学研究，以分析使用伊斯兰宗教使公司贿赂合理化的商人的心态。为此，根据对在印度尼西亚因贿赂行为而入狱的囚犯的深入访谈，进行了一项现象学研究。随后对采访数据进行了分析，并揭示了印尼商人援引伊斯兰教以使其贿赂行为合理化并使他们与思维定型保持一致的几种方式。本研究中的分析为如何通过宗教观点遏制公司贿赂的合理化提供了见识，并为未来研究提供了建议。
