Abstract
Corruption has been hampering development process in Indonesia and it is believed that E-government
hypothetically will diminish corruption in the country. The paper briefly compares Corruption Perception Index and Egovernment
Index to portray the respective case, and proposes human resources empowerment as essential tactic to curb
corruption in public sectors. It concludes that E-government might decrease corruption if it is incorporated with
increasing infrastructure and human capital, and; in doing so, managing human resources to exercise their individual
moral identity within organization is suggested so that corruption eradication can be initiated from individual selfawareness
which then evolves to collective awareness to create a common culture in corruption prevention.
