  1. NATIONAL INTEGRITY CONVENTION STRENGTHENING PUBLIC SERVICE & INSTITUTIONS WITH INTEGRITY THROUGH HUMAN VALUES by AZIUDDIN AHMAD, PhD Professor THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA 7 November 2008

  2. DISCUSSION POINTS • INTEGRITY REVISITED • WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE HUMAN? • ISLAM, IMAN & IHSAN • CORPORATE INTEGRITY vs. HUMAN INTEGRITY • BENCHMARKING INTEGRITY

  3. INTEGRITY REVISITED • Words emanate meaning • Etymology – Integrity from Latin integritas integer, whole number, being whole being one – AL TAWHID • Integrity is a state/conditioning, but not an end-state • The actuator/actualizer • Originally only be applied to human beings

  4. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE HUMAN? • Natural vs. Artificial/Legal person • The spiritual is what makes human, human (Salleh & Ahmad, 2008 & Stapp, 2008) • Physical is for locomotion • Human’s drive is towards inspiration, meaning & • purpose • Ad Dhariyat Quran (51:56)

  5. ISLAM, IMAN & IHSAN • IHSAN – Virtue, Perfection, Excellence • Third dimension of Islam • Life is series of dilemmas • Ihsan is Governance • Story of Muadh ibn Jabal

  6. CORPORATE INTEGRITY vs. HUMAN INTEGRITY

  7. BENCHMARKING INTEGRITY • What is legal MAY NOT be moral • What is moral is legal • INTEGRITY – IS IT LAW OR BEYOND LAW? • Conformance or Beyond Conformance? • Rising beyond the self: Rectification of character • – getting rid of bad attributes (Murata & Chittick, 1994)

  8. COMPLIANCE- & VALUES-BASED • CB approach is divorced from values and ethics i.e. THE SPIRIT • CB system, what is not prohibited is allowed. Attention is NOT on doing what is right but on NOT DOING what is wrong, NOT on doing one’s best but on NOT DOING one’s worst • VB encourages NOT to do ethical minimum but to DO ethical maximum • Rules DO NOT inspire. Values DO

  9. THANK YOU
