The purpose of this study is to investigate empirically the relationship between red-tapes, the corruption and the role of information-communication technologies (ICT) in dealing with them. The results of this study shows that unlike the theory asserts, the classification of red-tapes is quite difficult and unclear because of the complexity of concepts. An existence of a meaningful relationship between red-tapes and the administrative corruption is not certain, because unexpected patterns do appear spontaneously between the two. This finding demonstrates that a clearer conceptualization and a better measurement for the concepts are required.Furthermore, ICT shows a weak influence on both red-tapes and corruption. This finding suggests that the issues on red-tapes and administrative corruption may be more mingled with the culture, rules and regulations, and the psychology of the organization and its members.
