Abstract

The present study seeks to prioritize the factors affecting people's participation in submitting corruption reports to the General Inspection Organization with the help of experts from the Fars Provincial Inspectorate General. The research was conducted quantitatively; using the best-worst fuzzy method, the effective factors were determined and prioritized. The statistical population of the study in the best-worst fuzzy section (experts) included senior managers of the General Inspection of Fars Province (Inspector General, Deputy Inspectors General, and Chief Inspectors), who were 9 people in total, all of whom were selected as samples. The findings showed that among the components, the security features component is of the greatest importance and the structural features are of the least importance. The results showed that when prioritizing the effective factors for attracting people's participation in submitting corruption reports, maintaining the security of reporters and strengthening their motivation have a high priority and special attention should be paid to them.
