Actually the fight against corruption has become one of the fundamental pillars inside the activities of countries and organizations around the world, searching for ways to prevent and oppose it. Through this explanatory and non experimental study, we seek to purpose strategies that would be appropriate for the prevention of the corruption in Colombian organizations, taking into account how is the development and evolution of the phenomenon, using a cualitative methodological focus based on the documentary review technique. For that, the text starts with an analysis about the corruption on the human behaviour. Then it analyses the evolution and current context of the corruption in Colombia.
