| The present study tried to shed light on the features of social and economic risk of corruption and its culture in some government sectors, with a view to deepen understanding of the overall social and economic effects of corruption, and analysis of the fields of social risk arising from the phenomenon of corruption. In this context, the study aimed to analyze the social risk of corruption in three vital government sectors in Giza Governorate: Traffic, Supply and Localities, by drawing a simple random sample from the three sectors, totaling 325 employees. In addition, the correlation between the culture of corruption and its prevalence in the study population was revealed, which was conducted through a number of in-depth interviews with various social strata within Giza Governorate totaling 15 cases. The study concluded that the prevalence of corruption in the three government sectors increased by 88%, and that the traffic sector was one of the most sectors where corruption manifested by 913%. The results of the study also showed that the prevalence of corruption among the employees of the three sectors of the study can be included in what the research heritage called small corruption, tangible in our daily lives. | ||
