European Management Journal, 1999, vol. 17, issue 6, 625-634

Abstract: Integrity management is concerned with systematically and completely reviewing, analyzing and developing or safeguarding the ability of organizations to combat breaches of integrity. Breaches of integrity occur where conflicting interests are incorrectly weighed against each other, so that the actor infringes the legitimate interests of the company that employs him, or of individuals and parties inside or outside the company. These breaches of integrity cause enormous damage to the company itself, the employees and the external stakeholders. Breaches of integrity undermine the competitive advantage of the companies concerned. It is the task of the company's management to find a balance between the conflicting interests employees face and to ensure that the balance is institutionalized. This article presents a conceptual framework for describing the integrity of organizations and provides a basis for developing specific activities.
