“…The different narratives are related to different formative relationships, which also have to be engaged with respect. In this light, integrity involves hard work and even struggle (Cottingham, 2010;Pianalto, 2012) and involves recognition of contradictions and inconsistencies in the self. Often psychological pathology emerges precisely when narratives, for whatever reason, are suppressed or ignored (Cooper-White, 2007).…”

The article will briefly and critically review philosophical views on integrity, focusing on integration, identity, standing up for moral principles and ethical decision-making practice. It will explore integrity as Aristotle's virtue of truthfulness, noting how this leads to engagement with the self and the social network. This demands the practice of responsibility, involving: critical agency (developing authorship of the ethical narrative), accountability (involving plural and mutual dialogue), and creative (positive) responsibility (involving both narrative and dialogue around action). In light of this dynamic and social view of integrity the second part the article explores counterfeit integrity. It distinguishes counterfeit integrity based in unexamined ideology and identity from counterfeit integrity based in intentional deception of others about beliefs, values and motives.

“…49 Matthew Pianalto is a notable exception: his account of the distinction between psychological and practical integrity is a helpful shift in the debates. 50 ) Moral integrity and personal integrity require being guided by standards. Moral integrity requires being guided by objective moral standards and personal integrity requires being guided by personal standards.…”

“…Or commitment to good principles (Becker, 1998: 157)? Or perhaps, integrity is a matter of wholeness (McFall, 1987;Koehn, 2005;Pianalto, 2012). 1 Faced with this confusing array of alternatives, some have sought an underlying unity behind all of these conceptions, while others have denied the existence of such a unity and have argued that many appeals to integrity would be better served by appealing to "integrity as" where a term is inserted after the "as" that specifies the sense of integrity under discussion (Audi and Murphy, 2006: 16).…”

“…According to these theorists, the virtue of integrity has to do with a sort of psychic integration (Audi and Murphy, 2006: 9). A person of integrity is not divided within herself whereas those who lack integrity express some sort of psychic (or practical) conflict (Pianalto, 2012). Hypocrites and weak-willed people like John Dashwood try to internalize conflicting commitments.…”

Integrity: the virtue of compromise

In this article, I develop a novel interpretation of integrity that I believe ought to be of special interest to business ethicists. According to a traditional understanding, integrity is the virtue of holding fast to one's principles in the face of temptations. Against this, I suggest that integrity is the virtue that governs rather than forbids compromise. In other words, integrity does not just forbid compromise; it sometimes demands it. This virtue will sound paradoxical to some, and I spend much of the essay arguing for its plausibility and locating it within the larger philosophical tradition. In the second half of the essay, I try to connect this virtue to the essential aims of business as understood by shareholder theorists. If my argument is correct, it may explain why integrity is of such central concern for business ethicists. This article is published as part of a collection on integrity and its counterfeits.
