Summary/Abstract: The study is aimed at finding a suitable answer to the main research question: Is there a difference of perception between civil servants in public positions of leadership and civil servants in public positions of execution as regards politicization, corruption and control in public organizations? Do perceptions on these phenomena vary along the hierarchy? In other words, does the position make the difference? Using survey data from respondents in public positions of leadership and execution, the study on the differences of perception on politicization, corruption and control within public organizations compares perceptions in four types of public organizations: (1) central public administration, (2) local public administration, (3) de-concentrated public services, (4) councils and mayoralties.
