Our aim was to verify the ‘institutional logics’ of corruption through the discursive patterns of managers. We conducted an exploratory survey using a qualitative-quantitative method. The interviews were submitted to content analysis, using the Atlas.TI software and the questionnaire was applied by SurveyMonkey. As a methodological contribution, four categories and levels for analyzing the logic of corruption were constructed: Individual, Organization, Networks, and Interinstitutional System. We infer that understanding the institutional logic of corruption can promote a transformation of corrupt behavior and an institutional change by individual cognition that can lead to practical change in society.
