Quota Corruption, Governance, Public Administration Ethics, Accountability, Public PolicyAbstract
This study aims to analyze corrupt practices in quota management and their implications for ethics and good governance. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were obtained through literature review in the form of news reports, reports from anti-corruption agencies, government documents, and academic journals. The analysis was conducted using the approaches of Good Governance, Public Administration Ethics, and Public Accountability. The results indicate that quota corruption arises from weak accountability and transparency, as well as low integrity among public officials. This practice reflects a gap between ethical administrative norms and the implementation of public policy. Enforcing ethical values, good governance principles, and accountability mechanisms is necessary to prevent similar deviations.
