Although the literature on corruption is extensive, it is also fragmented, with inconsistencies and inconclusive findings that limit theoretical and practical advancements. Scholars have called for multi‐factor, multi‐level frameworks that integrate macro, micro and longitudinal aspects to provide a more cohesive understanding of corruption's persistence and mitigation. This study addresses these calls through a systematic literature review, offering a critical synthesis of structural and agential perspectives on corruption. Thereby it identifies gaps in existing scholarship and proposes an integrated framework that situates corruption within the interaction of two key dimensions: institutional resource allocation and institutional maturity. By drawing on institutional logics, it positions corruption and anti‐corruption as outcomes of competing institutional logics, shaped by the resources committed to their embedding. This perspective enables a dynamic examination of how structure and agency interact to sustain or challenge corruption. Specifically, it accounts for how institutional resources either reinforce dominant logics or enable shifts towards alternative, reformist logics. It allows for the study of dynamic feedback loops and pathways that influence corruption's evolution. Resource allocation and institutional maturity interact recursively, shaping institutional logics over time. These dynamics highlight the role of feedback loops in driving corruption escalation, stabilization or reform. By synthesizing insights from the literature, the study highlights pathways for future research, including investigating the role of institutional resource allocation, temporal dynamics and the mechanisms underlying transitions between stages of corruption. It reconciles theoretical tensions between structural and agential accounts, offering actionable insights for scholars and policymakers.

腐败动态：跨环境整合结构、代理和制度逻辑

尽管关于腐败的文献广泛，但也是零散的，不一致和不确定的发现限制了理论和实践的进步。学者们呼吁建立多因素、多层次的框架，整合宏观、微观和纵向方面，以更连贯地理解腐败的持续性和缓解性。本研究通过系统的文献综述来回应这些呼吁，对腐败的结构性和代理观点进行了批判性的综合。因此，它确定了现有学术研究中的差距，并提出了一个综合框架，将腐败置于两个关键维度的相互作用中：机构资源分配和机构成熟度。通过借鉴制度逻辑，它将腐败和反腐败定位为相互竞争的制度逻辑的结果，由致力于嵌入这些逻辑的资源塑造。这种视角有助于动态地审视结构和代理如何相互作用以维持或挑战腐败。具体来说，它解释了制度资源如何强化主导逻辑或促进向替代性改革主义逻辑的转变。它允许研究影响腐败演变的动态反馈循环和途径。资源分配和制度成熟度递归地相互作用，随着时间的推移塑造制度逻辑。这些动态突出了反馈循环在推动腐败升级、稳定或改革方面的作用。通过综合文献中的见解，该研究强调了未来研究的途径，包括调查机构资源分配的作用、时间动态以及腐败阶段之间过渡的潜在机制。 它调和了结构性和代理性账户之间的理论紧张关系，为学者和政策制定者提供了可作的见解。
