Conceptualization and Application of the Clean Government: Towards the Realization of the Administrative General Policies

The purpose of the current study is to conceptualize and apply pure government within the general policies of administrative system. It is paradigmatic in nature, and in two interpretive explorative phase and confirmatory modelling phase. It is generally a pragmatic and practical study. The research method is mixed-method and content analysis. To analyze the qualitative data, Clark’s method (2006) and MAXQDA software were employed. Purposeful sampling was done in the qualitative phase including elites of the universities such as professors, faculties, and the higher managers of the governmental organizations, resulting in 20 individuals. The sample for the quantitative phase include the managers and staff of the governmental organizations in Tehran. The questionnaire for collecting quantitative data was designed based on the confirmatory factor analysis. In the quantitative phase, the sampling was random, the size of which was decided by G-power program at 0.1 alpha and test power of 0.85%, resulting in 130 participants. The validity of the content was confirmed by CVR, CVI by elite panels. The validity of the measuring structure model (convergent and divergent) was confirmed by variance, Fornel and Lacker, and multifactorial matrix. The reliability of the model was tested through Cronbach alpha, test-retest, and parallel methods. The exploratory model was designed based on variance-based structured equation modelling through SPSS 24 and Smart PLS 3. The findings showed 24 indexes and 4 elements.
