“…As mentioned by Salleh and Heidecke (2019), human governance is understanding the aspects of being human in regards to the "what", the "who" and the "why". The "who" and "why" are essential to reflect upon our role within the community, why we do what we do and what are the consequences of our actions.…”

COVID-19 creates an unprecedented crisis in our lifetimes. The escalating rates of COVID-19 infection brings calamity to many parts of the world. Malaysia has been in a fierce battle with COVID-19 since March 2020 but the endgame is still obscure. Since the beginning of the pandemic, many preventive measures are implemented by the Malaysian government. Some of the strategies such as lockdown and movement restrictions are effective in flattening the curve of COVID-19. However, over a period of time, negative unintended consequences such as pandemic fatigue emerged due to prolong confinement. Lockdown is also an expensive measure that impacts the community livelihood and subsequently risking Malaysia’s economy. After two years of the pandemic, with the success of COVID-19 vaccination programme, Malaysia may be ready to return to normalcy. However, the world is alarmed with new deadly COVID-19 variant which puts Malaysia in constant risk of resurge of cases. This paper aims to understand how implemented preventive measures interacted with each other and collectively influence the spread of COVID-19 in Malaysia. Only by understanding these interaction, more effective, economical and sustainable counter measures that safe lives without compromising people livelihood can be introduced. The causal loop diagram, an essence of system dynamics is developed to capture these interconnections and provide meaningful insights. The role of community and public integrity are also observed in this study.

“…Human governance emphasizes values that transcend man-made rules and regulations, focusing on consciousness, values, and ethical behaviour. It aims to bring about accountability beyond compliance and foster a work culture that goes beyond self-interest (Salleh & Ahmad, 2008;Salleh & Ahmad, 2010;Salleh & Ahmad, 2012).…”

“…Studies indicated that human governance has an influence and plays a crucial role in preventing individuals from engaging in DWB such as corporate financial crime (Salleh & Ahmad, 2010;Abdullah, Daud, & Hanapiyah, 2020). Embracing values of human governance in carrying out responsibilities can earn trust from management and society, improving productivity and economic progress.…”

This paper attempts to examine the impact of human governance on the complex relationship between Dark Triad traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) and deviant workplace behaviours. It integrates the theoretical concepts of Trait Theory, Al-Ghazali's theory of the soul, and Guman’s Governance Philosophy to analyse personality traits, spiritual influences, and ethical principles in deviant behaviours. This study aims to give scholarly insights into the comprehension and application of these significant issues by looking at theoretical and empirical aspects. It focuses on values, ethics, and internal guidance in fostering ethical behaviours and deterring deviant conduct. The study provides valuable insights into the interplay between human governance, Dark Triad traits, and deviant workplace behavior. However, it acknowledges limitations in generalizing findings across different organizational contexts. Further empirical research is needed to validate the effectiveness of human governance principles in mitigating deviant behaviours. The findings offer practical implications for organizational management in promoting human governance principles to cultivate a culture of integrity, transparency, and accountability, reducing the likelihood of Dark Triad traits and deterring the deviant behaviours among employees. The study contributes to existing literature by exploring the role of human governance in addressing these issues.

“…The “Outer-in to Inner-out” shift explains the internal mechanism that guides humans in manifesting the internal behaviour of integrity. Salleh and Anis (2019) stated that HG is essentially about being human with governance being the consequence. In addressing corruption, HG serves as the pathway to enhance integrity.…”

Purpose Corruption is a global phenomenon. The 2016 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Report and the 2019 Malaysia National Anti-Corruption Plan (NACP) Report stated that the government sector most prone to corruption is procurement. The purpose of this study is to explore what drives the government procurement practitioners to commit corruption or uphold integrity. The novelty of this research is it focusses on the human aspect based on a human model which comprises both the physical and non-physical dimensions. It incorporated four theories which are the virtue theory, transaction cost theory (TCT), human governance (HG) philosophy and Al-Ghazali theory of the soul to design the research framework. Design/methodology/approach This approach to counteract corruption is through the inner “Self” (spirituality) and is not limited or bound to processes, procedures, rules, regulations, systems and structures. Findings The findings obtained through the phenomenological method suggest that the Inciting Soul is the driver behind corruption. This happens when intellect (‘Aql) becomes submissive to appetition (Shahwa) and self-assertion (Ghadab) resulting in vice characters. In upholding integrity, Soul-at-Peace is the driver where intellect dominates appetition and self-assertion leading to virtue characters. The HG philosophy is what encapsulates the taxonomy of virtue character. Research limitations/implications This research concentrates only on understanding why corruption happens among those with authority. Nevertheless, this research did not delve into the inculcation of HG. Therefore, the authors would suggest for future research is to explore techniques to inculcate the ability of an individual to exercise all the necessary inner “Self” functions (to curb corruption) without having intervention from an external authority. Practical implications Corruption is a global phenomenon. The 2016 OECD Report and the 2019 Malaysia NACP Report found that procurement is the government sector most prone to corruption. Originality/value The novelty of this research is its focus on the human aspect based on the model of a human comprising both the physical and non-physical dimensions. The theoretical framework integrates the virtue theory, TCT, HG philosophy and Al-Ghazali theory of the Soul.
