Abstract:
Research on administrative efficiency in corruption suppression of the Office of the National
Anti-Corruption Commission (ONACC) was a qualitative research. The objectives of this study were
1) to study about NACC commissioners policies and guidelines towards administration on corruption
suppression of the ONACC 2) to study on whether and how those guidelines conform with
administrative efficiency principle and case administrative principle 3) to identify proper resolution to
enhance an efficiency concerning corruption suppression administration through interviewing eight key
persons relating to such area. Interviewees were divided into three groups which were 1) NACC
commissioners 2) ONACC executives and 3) corruption suppression officers.
From this study, it was found that NACC commissioners had focused their administrative
policies on efficiency, quick response and quality of performance of law enforcement. In consistent
with the board policies, ONACC had responded by establishing guidelines and living up with the core
value of an organization Integrity Fairness Professionalism. Considering administrative guidelines
under conceptual frameworks regarding efficiency principle and case administrative principle, it was
illustrated that ONACC administration on corruption suppression had delegation of authority and
responsibility to officers, carried out a division of labor to specified officers, created a proper span of
control, laid down a performance evaluation system and formulated systemically management of
a variety cases. However, under above-mentioned principles, there was still a practical challenging;
therefore ONACC should study whether law amending with respect to entrust inquiry officers to
sign a written communication to summon any person to give statements or to require
the presentation of relevant documents or evidence from any person or any agency is needed or not.
An explicit guidelines or rule of thumb should be imposed in order to identify which type of work
will be considered as an administrative work according to regulations. Furthermore, ONACC should
furnish itself about work process or should consider amending relating laws and regulations for the
benefit of reducing redundancy. ONACC should adopt an individual evaluation program to maintain
harmonization in work flow and quality of performance. Case sizing should be applied to assignment
process. Apart from those which ONACC had accomplished, ONACC had failed to comply with the
guideline on delegation of work according to specialization. Thus, ONACC should reorganize its
internal structure by categorizing cases and establishing divisions contribute to each category of cases.
