Propuesta metodológica para la implementación del sistema de gestión anti-soborno en empresas de seguridad privada en Guayaquil.

Abstract

Today, the number of bribery corruption cases has increased, mostly involving private security companies. According to the investigation, the private sector of security companies are the most attracted to committing bribes due to the openness that work offers with sectors that mostly have friction with the community. Since, for the most part, they do not have a quality certification that is supported by the international standard ISO 37001 and thus be able to implement an anti-bribery management system. On the other hand, a mixed research approach was applied, for which interviews with technical experts were carried out to find out their opinions on the problem and the implementation of ISO 37001. Similarly, surveys were conducted with managers of private security companies from the city of Guayaquil in order to obtain information on the knowledge, benefits and acceptance of the standard. In conclusion, it is determined that managers consider the application of ISO 37001 important due to the benefits it provides, but that ignorance of the standard limits its implementation. Reason for which a methodological proposal was applied through the use of the plan, do, verify and act cycle (PHVA), selecting the requirements established by the ISO 37001 standard within each phase.
