In this research a conceptual reform model is proposed in an anticorruption measure framework. A survey study was conducted to gather the required data from the public sectors in Kuwait and a structured questionnaire was designed and validated. A causal model was also identified and established, by utilizing the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. The framework is designed to assess the impact of procedural transparency and communication transparency in each organization (treated as exogeneous variables) on outcome variables reflecting the quality of its governance, which are the practice of strategic planning within the oganization, its perceived effective performance and its competitiveness. Moderating variables like integrity against corruption, accountability, respect for the law, integrity preventive measures and faireness are used to assess the impact of the exogeneous variables. On the basis of the findings, a model is fitted, and hypotheses regarding direct, indirect and total effects of the contextual and moderating variables on the outcome variables are tested. The main conclusion in this research work rests on the dominating effects of communication transparency on the outcome variables.
