Abstract

" Objective - The focus of the research was to explore how the implementation of an anti-bribery management system (ABMS) can support enterprises' drive towards sustainable development and inspire solutions to the complex social challenge that bribery represents. Methodology - This research aimed to investigate how future managers and business professionals perceive bribery and the tools designed to support bribery prevention, with a particular focus on their impact on sustainable development. Empirical research was selected as the primary method for collecting and analyzing the data. The sample file consisted of 250 business and management university students. It was discovered that university students are aware of bribery as a serious societal problem. Findings - Their views on ABMS were primarily positive. However, most of them were not aware of its potential impacts on sustainable development. The perception of the effects of ABMS on the development of risk management measures was clear; however, students viewed them as insufficient for bribery prevention. Students with more work experience were more inclined to believe that ABMS can positively impact not only the management of organizations, but also sustainable development in societies. Novelty - This research provides a significant contribution to understanding the link between ABMS and sustainability. The positive trend of implementing tools to address societal problems, including the occurrence of bribery, is expected to become dominant soon after the current business and management students fully integrate themselves into the business environment. Type of Paper - Empirical"
