ABSTRACT
This paper examines the impact of CEO culture on firm performance in a high-corruption environment. We find that corruption negatively affects firm performance. However, we also find that, in a business environment where corruption is prevalent, power distance culture leads to a beneficial impact on firm performance. On the other hand, individualism, masculinity and uncertainty avoidance culture have the opposite effect.
