Abstract

There is broad consensus in management and philosophy that integrity is a complex concept, which has many facets. Integrity is undoubtedly considered a virtue, but no consensus has been reached about the nature of this virtue. This chapter proposes to clarify the nature of the virtue of integrity in a managerial context through the lens of Aristotle ' s social and political philosophy. The chapter considers the individual fi rst and foremost as a member of society, subject to temptations that may lead him or her to commit unjust acts. It de fi nes the action of integrity, in a managerial context, as the promised exercising of the virtues of an individual ' s social roles, in particular through the regulation of appetite for gain. It then explains how this action is based on character formed by individual will and practical wisdom.
