| Summary: | Integrity within employees is on the forefront as a person with integrity is
one that is honest and trustworthy. In contrast is an employee with low
integrity that could be associated with acts of fraud, corruption and theft.
The purpose of this report is to address the proposition that higher
integrity levels within employees will lead to lower financial stock losses. In
addition the integrity levels of all employees were measured to see
whether the integrity level of permanent employees were higher than
those of temporary employees.
Strategies were implemented in order to develop the integrity level of
Clover Nelspruit’s employees. The strategies included addressing the
situational factors desirability, group norms and risk together with focusing
on communication regarding integrity.
The monthly averaged stock loss for the period June to September 05 was
considerably lower than the previous eleven months which led to the
confirmation that improving a person’s integrity can be positively
associated with lower financial losses caused by internal theft. In
considering only the employees who passed the lie factor in the
measurement instrument the results were also in agreement with the
theory that temporary workers might be more likely to engage in
counterproductive behaviour than those employed as permanent workers. |
