Investigating Integrity and Job Performance: A Quantitative Inquiry

This study examined the relationship between integrity and job performance among employees of Assumption College of Nabunturan. Specifically, it assessed employees integrity in terms of honesty, consciousness, and principles, and their job performance in terms of task performance, productive behavior, contextual performance, and adaptive performance. A quantitative descriptive-correlational research design was used involving 107 teaching and non-teaching employees selected through universal sampling. Data were collected using adapted and validated questionnaires and analyzed using mean, Pearson r correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that employees demonstrated high levels of integrity and job performance. Pearson correlation analysis showed no significant relationship between integrity and job performance (r = 0.167, p = 0.088). However, multiple regression analysis indicated that the domain of principles significantly predicted job performance (p = 0.018). The study concludes that while overall integrity was not significantly associated with job performance, adherence to ethical principles contributes to better employee performance. The findings highlight the importance of strengthening ethical values and principles to promote organizational effectiveness.
