The research employed a descriptive-survey design, and the statistical population consisted of managers and specialists from 15 state-owned banks. A sample of 270 participants was selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a researcher-developed questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by experts and whose reliability was verified using a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.86. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software and correlation and regression techniques. The findings indicated a positive and significant relationship between information transparency and the reduction of administrative corruption. Specifically, transparency in decision-making processes, resource allocation, and contracts had the greatest effect on corruption control. The regression analysis results showed that transparency could explain 65% of the variance in corruption reduction. Accordingly, the key recommendations include establishing transparent information systems, launching public monitoring platforms, and requiring disclosure of contract details to effectively reduce corruption in state-owned banking institutions.</p> https://bmfopen.com/index.php/bmfopen/article/download/650/476
