Ethical Climate, Chief Integrity Officer and Level of Ethics and Integrity in Malaysian Public Sector

Abstract

This study provides an overview of the initiatives taken by the Malaysian government in mitigating a global issue of ethics and poor governance which has led to inefficiency and corruption in an organization. The government has stressed the importance of having good governance in the public sector as poor governance will lead to a loss of reputation of Malaysia and in the long run will discourage investors to the country. Studies have shown that ethical climate and existence of a Chief Integrity Officer are some of the factors that can help overcome the major challenges of achieving Vision 2020 i.e., Government Transformation Program which one of its agenda is to fight corruption. Ethical climate and Chief Integrity Officer is perceived to have a direct relationship with the level of ethics and integrity in the Malaysian public sector which consequently will increase the perception of public trust. Thus, this paper will provide some insights on the impact of these two factors on the level of ethics and integrity in the Malaysian Public Sector
