One of the most important elements of the modern management in all systems is the supervision. This element is so important because it ensures the right direction of all factors towards the desired targets. Organizational activities shall be implemented within the framework of the targets, the policies as well as the relevant plans and managers, as one of their important responsibilities, shall be seeking for the regulated and effective methods for establishment of the network for receiving required information on the function of the system and its compliance with the relevant targets, plans and policies. The better function of the system will be ensured for obtaining the desired targets; Given the fundamental developments in different economic, social and cultural areas we need a change in our approach from the traditional one to modern one for the establishment of an efficient supervisory system. This new and modern atmosphere in the supervisory area may be realized through science oriented and professional supervisory methods using the unofficial and popular capacities, the media and electronic monitoring facilities. The general inspection organization as the main supervisory arm in the country has already taken important steps towards establishment of the modern supervision with a reformist, comprehensive and far-reaching look emphasizing suitable implementation of the relevant rules and regulations: this is what the present paper brings into its consideration.

Purpose of the present study is to identify the reasons and factors behind the administrative corruption in the government organizations located in the Tehran province. "Study of the Behavioral and Structural Factors Which Cause the Administrative Corruption in the Government Organizations and Departments" is selected as the title of the paper. This study has covered staff of the Ministry of Housing who has been in charge of implementation of construction projects in government and public sectors at the time when the present study was carried out. In our study we have used a questionnaire titled "The Investigation Form" which has already been confirmed by the relevant experts. A pre-exam was carried out by distribution of 30 questionnaires among the staff and the result number was extracted based on the Koronbakh Alfa index equaling to 0. 86. The pre-exam was held for 200 individuals 45 of which were used for statistical purposes. The Number of the questionnaires filled and collected was 66. In the study 5 factors as the behavioral factor and 4 factors as structural ones were introduced as the factor which influences the administrative corruption. The outcome of the preexam and the statistical analysis implies a meaningful relationship among the mentioned factors.

Based on the Transparency International (TI)'s 2008 report on the administration corruption in the world out of 180 countries studied by this body Iran, with the score of 2.3, stands 141st. For this study the worst and the best scores fluctuates between respectively 1 and 10; score 1 for the most corrupted administrative system and 10 for the least corrupted administrative system. According to the same report, as compared with the year of 2007 in which Iran stood 131th out of 179 states, with the score of 2.5 Iran's standing has demoted remarkably in the current year. One of the most significant threats exposed to the administrative system is the administrative corruption. Until now different definitions have been introduced for the administrative corruption each one, as its part, has been effective in shedding more light on this heinous phenomenon. But the administrative corruption, at first has been of an ethical and value connotation which gradually lost its ethical aspect having come out as a concept with a certain definition used in the public management and political sciences fields. The administrative corruption which is the opposite of the health in the administrative system, based on the TI definition, implies misuse of the public power for the private administrative benefits for the purpose of personal or family interests. In the present study we bring three factors or organizational categories to our attention namely supervision and control, salary and wages as well as process of activities of the customs trying to examine their impact on the occurrence of the administrative corruption.

According to the research and investigations made on the value factors are indicate that the social capital and organizational justice are considered as two important and key factors in emergence of civil organizational behavior.
