Psychosocial determinants of corruption was recommended in order to give emphasis that corruption is innate in nature in which discontentment and security takes place as a motivating factor; why a certain person committed corruption. The researchers used Maslow’s hierarchy of needs which determines the self-actualization as the higher needs of man or a belief that he/she was fully used all their potentials as a result of full satisfaction. In sociological and psychological perspective, man has its own individual characteristics, ability to perceive what is right and what is wrong, as well as the ability to observe and adopt what is being observed. As determinants of corruption two (2) theories are anchored by Bandura’s observation Learning Theory: (1) The Freudian theory which asserts man Id, ego and super –ego; and the (2) second theory eventually imitate observable antisocial acts that would immediately satisfy their needs. Derived propositions are the following: (1) people with low sense of guilt will eventually imitate observable anti-social acts that would immediately satisfy their needs; (2) some people prefer to commit corrupt acts because it has greater payoff but with less threat on legal punishment; and (3) individual with great sense of his moral conscience can achieve self-actualization; (4) actualized people will never engage in corruption; and (5) self-actualized people are incorruptible.
