Abstract
The major objective of this research study was to know that in which means corruption is involved in unemployment was conducted with special reference to seven selected villages of Union Council Shahi-Khel, District Dir Lower, Khyber Pakhtoon-Khwa, Pakistan. A sample size of 359 households were proportionally allocated to each village and then randomly selected. Both uni-variate and bi-variate analyses were carried out to determine outcomes. The association between independent variable (corruption) and dependent variable (unemployment) was tested by using Chi-Square Test. The association results of corruption and unemployment make vivid a highly significant relationship was found between unemployment and payment of bribe (P=0.000), nepotism (P=0.000), favouritism (P=0.000), eye washing techniques (P=0.000), cronyism (P=0.05), and rule of selection for a job (P=0.047). The results help to establish wide spread existence of corruption in the government organizations in the form of bribe payment, favouritism and cronyism in selection process. Political affiliation is tool for ensuring a job through use of political pressure. The rules for selection are vague and seldom implemented, the selection process is not more than eyewashes and the government is part of this corruption in employment as it does not ensure fair recruitment for government jobs.
