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…

The main research question is: What is the scale of integrity violations within Dutch public governance and what is the nature of these violations? The article provides the results of research on the perceptions of 7,315 Dutch civil serva…
Integrity: What it is and Why it is Important
“Integrity” has become a concept and topic with more prominence in research on government and governance, as well as in actual policy making at all levels. This contribution will address basic questions about integrity. What views and interpretations of “integrity” can be distinguished? Eight different views will be summarized, with additional reflection on the underlying basics of an integrity “approach” and on its relationship with concepts/vie…
Coping With Public Value Conflicts
Good governance involves managing conflicting values, leading to the main research question, which consists of three parts: Which public value profiles do public administrators have, which value conflicts do they experience, and which coping strategies are used? Here, previous literature on public value conflicts is discussed first and linked to the literature on street-level bureaucrats and on coping strategies. Then two case studies are present…
Local Integrity Systems: Toward a Framework for Comparative Analysis and Assessment
A local integrity system encompasses all the policies, practices, and integrity institutions that are meant to contribute to the rectitude of a local government. Little research has been carried out on such systems, as compared to national integrity systems, even though the performance of municipalities in terms of good governance is important for how citizens perceive government more generally. This article proposes a framework, developed induct…

Portraying the Nature of Corruption Using an Explorative Case Study Design
What is the nature of corruption in Western democracies? To answer this research question, the authors study 10 Dutch corruption cases in depth, looking at confidential criminal files. The cases allow them to sketch a general profile of a corruption case. The authors offer nine propositions to portray the nature of corruption. They conclude that corruption usually takes place within enduring relationships, that the process of becoming corrupt can…
Value Solidity in Government and Business: Results of an Empirical Study on Public and Private Sector Organizational Values
This article reports on a survey study of 382 managers from a variety of public and private sector organizations, on the values that guide sectoral decision making. Just as some important classical differences emerge, a number of similarities between the public and private sector appear to result in a set of common core organizational values. Furthermore, the data support neither increasing adoption of business values in public sector organizatio…

Police integrity in the Netherlands and the United States: Awareness and alertness
Police integrity is an important subject for both police theory and practice. This paper presents the results of survey research on the perceptions of police officers in the Netherlands and the USA on two specific aspects of integrity. First, their views on the seriousness of types of integrity violations and, second, the willingness to report deviant behavior (and to break the so-called 'wall of silence'), are examined. The Dutch police appeared…
Anticorruption Strategies: The Hong Kong Model in International Context
Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) often serves as an example and a model for an effective national anticorruption institution. It is characterized by its independence; its involvement in the public as well as the private sector; its combination of investigation, prevention, and education; and its resources. What can other countries learn from the ICAC? Expert panel data show that different countries can learn different …
