dc.description.abstractCorrupt practices among Female Civil Servants (FCS) seem to be increasing despite the establishment of Anti-Corruption and Transparency Units (ACTUs) by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC).The practice is compromising Good Governance Dispositions (GGDs) among the FCS. Literature has shown the extent to which ACTUs have achieved its objectives successfully in other states but the extent of its impacts on the enhancement of GGDs in Oyo state civil service has not been documented. This study, therefore, examines the impact of ACTUs on GGDs among FCS in Oyo state, Nigeria. The survey research design was adopted. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 22 ministries and departments in the civil service of Oyo state. Stratified and proportional sampling techniques were used to select 1,176 FCS while 10 ICPC officials were also purposively selected. Five instruments were used, namely, Good Governance Inventory (r= 0.93), Female Civil Servants Work Dispositions Scale (r= 0.73), Female Civil Servants‟ Anti- Corruption Campaign Awareness Scale (r= 0.92), Service Providers/Anti - corruption Campaign Methodology Scale (r= 0.93) and ICPC‟s Anti-Corruption Campaign Inventory (r= 0.82). These were complemented with five sessions of Key Informants Interview with ICPC officials. Three research questions were answered and six hypotheses tested at P=0.05. Data were analysed using percentages, Pearson product moment correlation, multiple regression and content analyses. The FCS‟s mean age was 39 ±10.03 while 58.0% and 42.0% had positive and negative good governance dispositions respectively. The ACTUs significantly predicted GGDs among the FCS in Oyo state ((6,1169) = 112.08, R= .60) and accounted for 36.0% of the variations in GGDs. The relative contributions of ACTUson the indices of GGDs were: respect for rule of law (β=.33), the practices of openness (β=.20), accountability (β=.13), social responsiveness (β= .12), integrity (β= -.09), and transparency (β=.05). Further, respect for rule of law (r=.53), openness in discharging responsibilities (r=.49), the practices of accountability (r=.45), social responsiveness to public need (r=.42), the practice of transparency (r=.40) and upholding of integrity (r=.36) had significant positive correlations with ACTUs.Whistle blowing (50.0%), pamphlets/hand-bills (40.3%), seminars/workshops (35.5%), posters (29.1%), radio jingles (20.0%) and bill-boards (10.0%) were ACTUs‟ information dissemination methods.The FCS perceived low adoption of interactive information dissemination method in enhancing their good governance dispositions. Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission‟s Anti-corruption campaign fairly contributed to good governance dispositions of female civil servants in Oyo state. Therefore, usage of radio-jingles, posters, and bill-boards should be more encouraged to improve the disposition of the FCS towards good governance.en_us
