Abstract :
Today , corruption in the public and private sector is a significant issue and a considerable challenge , which makes managers and heads of state to seek a solution to reduce corruption. The researchers also aimed at finding scientific solutions to eliminate and reduce corruption. on the other hand , the capabilities of information and communication technology and innovative and innovative opportunities that this concept has caused it to have led to the application of this technology in most areas and solving different problems. Effective use of information technology and communication requires access to the desired readiness of countries in the fields of infrastructure ; the use and access of technology to the vast majority of the country 's population and a proper framework of laws and regulations for this technology. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of e-readiness factors on corruption reduction in developing countries. Findings from the research over the last five years show that there is a relatively strong link between e-readiness and corruption in developing countries , which indicates that countries with better electronic readiness and so-called readier acceptance ; they are less corrupt. also , the study of this link at the level below the four indicators of electronic readiness shows that the relevance of all sub-index is directly proportional to the level of corruption and the effect of environmental sub-index on corruption is higher than the rest of the indicators .
