Creating an environment resistant to corruption is viewed through the prism of public governance, seeking effective ways to combat negative phenomena in the public sector. The object of the research is a corruption-resistant environment in the context of human resources management. The aim of the work is to distinguish the links between the elements of anti-corruption environment and human resources management after analyzing the theoretical concept of anti-corruption environment, to create an integrated model and to determine the possible application of such a model in Radviliškis district municipality administration. The aim of the work will be achieved by implementing the following tasks: after analyzing the links between corruption-resistant environment and human resources management processes and application factors, a theoretical model will be developed; the possible practical application and improvement possibilities of the theoretical model of a corruption-resistant environment will be integrated into human resources management. The master's thesis consists of theoretical, methodological and empirical parts, conclusions, recommendations, and references. The theoretical (the first) part analyzes the importance of national and institutional anti-corruption policy in the combat against corruption in the public sector, the possible coherence of anti-corruption ways with the organization's activities and management processes. The institutionalization of anti-corruption ways or the formalization of anti-corruption ways in the organization's documents and processes is examined.
