Administrative corruption is arguably one of the most dangerous types of corruption as it paralyses the administration, rendering it incapable of fulfilling its required tasks. The harmful and destructive negative effects resulting from this issue are serious, and it is therefore a plague that undermines the fabric of society, hinders development programmes, and disrupts the principles of justice, integrity, and equality. Administrative corruption is often considered merely a deviation from standards, representing a failure to uphold the values of community commitment and respect for public service obligations. Thus, it constitutes a misuse of a public position for private gain. This study aims to explain, analyse and diagnose the phenomenon of administrative corruption within public employment, identifying the various gaps and imbalances affecting the appointment system. These are considered to be both manifestations of and causes of administrative corruption in Algeria. The primary objective of this study is to prevent administrative corruption, thereby promoting integrity and transparency in transactions and combatting corruption in general.
