REVIEW OF LITERATURE
the world has taken a high toll including lost lives, financial losses, diverted
actions that addressed both the supply and demand sides of the corruption issue.
Since then, Transparency International has produced a suite of tools and reports as
works and construction were perceived to be the most corrupt industry sectors in the
world. This is not surprising. Construction impacts on all aspects of our life, including
houses, schools, offices, hospitals, shops, roads, railway lines, ports, airports,
stations, the supply of water and power, and communications and sewage facilities.
Large construction projects are complex and usually involve numerous players. The
scale of financing is often huge. For corrupt politicians and officials who rely on gift-
policy, construction projects are the perfect vehicle to dispense patronage and
this is a US$3 trillion industry. The costs are not only financial. Corruption in the
industry has many terrible impacts: lives are lost when corruptly constructed houses
diverting scarce resources from other pressing needs such as health, water, and
On the other hand, regarding “killing time” or “dead time” at work; people
inside the Construction and Engineering Industry, firms and offices workers are
usually a pretty busy bunch, yet their time spent idle costs employers an estimated
$100 billion per year, according to a new study from Harvard Business School.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter discusses the Effects of Corruption like gift-policy and “Dead time”

construction of infrastructure with low economic returns alongside low funding for
the outcomes of poor construction are likely to have a larger impact than voluminous
but poorly enforced regulation of the construction process. Where government is the
client, attempts to counter corruption need to begin at the level of planning and
development activities into coffers of a few. In particular, corruption that leads to poor

undoubted role for the government in the sector both as customer and regulator,
there is also a serious concern with the capacity of many governments to adequately
Employees with idle time are not good for the organization, company, industry
or a frim. According to the new business study of Harvard Business School impact of
idle time can cost employers an estimated $100 billion in wages per year.
Organizations are often concerned that their employees are too occupied to
complete tasks in a very short span of time. Usually, it’s just the opposite; employees
try and keep themselves busy just for the sake of appearance. Term idle time refers
to the unproductive hours spent in the office, for which employees are paid. Idle time
can be accounted for time spent in discussions, group chats, system failures,
experienced idle time on day to day basis. Employees were questioned, “On
When these hours were calculated into wages, the researchers conventionally
estimated that such idle time costs businesses $100 billion a year. This proves that
when employees pretend to keep themselves busy at work, they are not only wasting
their time but also wasting company’s and government’s money. Calculating idle
time and working out on it, can save companies and government’s a lot of money.
