Integrity Management Challenges and Solutions: A Synthesizing Model for Navigating Integrity
Content and Design of Integrity Systems: Evaluating Integrity Systems in Local Government
Public integrity is crucial, especially for local government organizations. Although research points out that a systematic integrity approach is to be preferred, only limited knowledge is available about what such an approach should entail. This article presents a framework that contains seven theory-based elements constituting a complete integrity system. This framework is used to assess the integrity systems in three large European cities, to d…
Introducing a New Key Player in Internal Whistleblowing Procedures: Examining the Position of Confidential Advisers
Employee reports about suspected integrity violations and other types of wrongdoing are widely acknowledged as an important method for disclosing misconduct and improving the integrity of organizations. Organizations and employees may benefit from appointing Confidential Advisers (CAs) as part of their internal reporting procedures. Confidential Advisers inform employees about internal reporting, support employees in the reporting process, and ca…
The Integrity of Integrity Programs: Toward a Normative Framework
Most of the norms developed for integrity programs are grounded in positivist arguments focused on effectiveness. The norms developed in this article are grounded in normative arguments that are directly deduced from the concept of integrity itself. The four norms are intentional wholeness; organizational wholeness; societal wholeness; and processual wholeness. These norms are operationalized into subnorms and indicators, resulting in a normative…
Integrity Management as Interorganizational Activity: Exploring Integrity Partnerships That Keep the Wheel in Motion
Much research on integrity management centers on the internal activities and measures individual organizations can employ to foster integrity. Using institutional and cultural theory, this article, conversely, explores how organizations can cooperate with peer organizations to manage integrity. Based on empirical research, 23 different integrity partnerships were mapped and analyzed, resulting in four categories: the integrity workshop (sharing i…
Understanding Integrity Policy Formation Processes: A Case Study in the Netherlands of the Conditions for Change
The increase of attention to integrity in the public sector has been accompanied by growing interest in integrity as a field of inquiry. As yet, analyses of integrity policy as a change process have not been part of the research agenda. Insight into the actors, factors, and circumstances that influence policy change could lead to more realistic goals and offers, and, at the same time, opportunities for improving public integrity. This study appli…
The Institutionalization of Integrity in Local Government
Scientific research and legal provisions offer more guidance on what regulations and instruments government organizations should apply to manage integrity than on how they should manage integrity, although the latter is at least as important as the former. Based on interviews with integrity officials in Dutch local government organizations, this exploratory study develops a descriptive typology of different approaches to the institutionalization …
