    The increase in cost of living due to the price fluctuation of consumer products, together with the environmental influence to experience affluent life-style, drive individuals to seek more financial resources. Tendency to abuse power within certain authority that they have, seldomly are inevitable especially with the constraint of money, and the eagerness to be in a higher social class. Restraining oneself from bribery at work-place may be due to various factors in relation to the individuals background and behaviour. Hence, this study is designed to identify behavioural finance and financial well-being factors as potential factors differentiating bribery intention. Random selection is based on a list of ministries situated in Putrajaya, Federal Territory of Malaysia involving eight ministries. Through liaison officers in those ministries, 400 self-administered questionnaires were distributed to the workers resulting in 310 completed questionnaires. Behavioural factors that are Islamic financial planning attitude, Islamic financial planning subjective norms, Islamic financial planning perceived behavioural control and the financial well-being status are found to be significantly differentiating between those having low intention and high intention to bribery. Inclination to Islamic financial planning involving financial products consumption has the potential to draw them further from bribery. Financially well individuals, due to good spending behaviour will, have lower tendencies to be involved in bribery. It also reflects that individuals who intend to be involved in bribery is based on their own urge and not others as their role models. The results have managerial implication where, bribery intention may be reduced through intervention programs. Educating the Muslim workers to consume Islamic financial products will contribute to reducing the chance of bribery. Induction training for new workers should emphasis on the importance of avoiding bribery. These can enable the employers to curb bribery practices especially among public sector workers who have certain authorities on their part.
