Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between corporate governance (CG) transparency and organizational performance within a single state government agency in Perak, Malaysia. A quantitative, correlational research design was employed, and data were collected from 73 employees through a structured questionnaire. Measures of CG transparency, financial transparency, social transparency, and organizational performance were adapted from established scales in prior studies. Statistical analyses, including correlation and regression, revealed a significant positive relationship between CG transparency and organizational performance, with CG transpar- ency emerging as the strongest predictor. The findings suggest that greater transparency enhances accountability, trust, and operational efficiency. However, because the study was confined to a single agency and relied on purposive sampling, the results cannot be generalized to the wider Malaysian public sector. This study contrib- utes to the literature on transparency in emerging economies by providing context-specific empirical evidence and highlights future research opportunities involving larger and more diverse samples.
