The findings show that there is a relationship between the level of financial corruption and the leveloforganizationalaccountability(r=-0.124p=0.026), communicative-interactive corruption and organizational transparency (r=-0.119, p=0.033), corruption in work quality and organizational health culture (r = -0.135, p =0.015), corruption in tenders and contracts and social responsibility (r = -0.134, p = 0.012), corruption in decision-making and employee work health (r=-0.127,p=0.022), employee work health and communication corruption (r=-0.121,p=0.030), and organizational health culture and corruption in decision-making (r = -0.127, p = 0.024) have an inverse and significant relationship. Also, an inverse and significant relationship was observed between organizational health and the level of perception of corruption among employees (r = -0.177, p = 0.001). In contrast, the findings showed that the inefficiency of supervisory bodies has a direct and significant relationship with the prevalence of financial corruption (r = 0.179, p = 0.001) and organizational transparency has a direct and significant relationship with the reduction of corruption in tenders (r = 0.292, p = 0.000). are meaningful.
