Abstract

This chapter investigates the influence of the problems of the integrity of research on ethical correspondence in the context of research management in Africa, emphasizing the intermediary role of bureaucratic barriers. Using the sample size of 385 researchers in various institutions, we used the Kaiser-Meyer-Lkin (KMO) test to evaluate the adequacy of our sample for factor analysis, reaching the KMO value indicating the adequacy of a good sample. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted using AMOS software to validate the measurement model, demonstrating solid construct validity and reliability of the variables involved. Subsequently, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to explore the relationships among research integrity challenges, ethical compliance, and bureaucratic barriers. The results show that bureaucratic barriers considerably line up the relationship between the problems of research integrity and ethical correspondence, revealing that increased problems of integrity exacerbate bureaucratic obstacles, thus reducing ethical engagement.
