1. The meaning of corporate integrity culture

To promote the creation of corporate integrity culture, we must first clarify the meaning of corporate integrity culture, and pay special attention to the difference between the construction of a corporate integrity culture and the construction of a clean government culture. , as well as the different contexts and systems of integrity culture and corporate culture. Only on this basis can we better grasp the inner meaning of corporate integrity culture.

1. The meaning of integrity

Literally speaking, the so-called "incorruptible" means being honest and not greedy, and the so-called "clean" means being innocent and clean. The so-called "integrity" means not being greedy and being pure. It refers to an attitude of being upright, upright, aboveboard and not greedy. In traditional Chinese culture, integrity is an important value concept. It has always emphasized and strongly advocated that "purity is in virtue and integrity is in ambition"; "it is better to have no money than to damage integrity"; "loyalty and integrity are the foundation of one's life. "It is also a tool for fishing for fame" (Song Dynasty Linbu's "Song Xin Lu"); "Incorruptible people are always happy without seeking, greedy people are often worried about insufficient" (Song Sima Guang's "Wen Zhongzi Supplementary Biography"); and so on.

In Chinese society, many sages and celebrities who are admired and widely praised are not only because of their extraordinary ability to deal with affairs, but also because of their honest character in dealing with others, such as Bao Zheng, Hai Rui, Yu Qian and Kong Fansen, a model party member of the new era, are admired by the world for their integrity and cleanliness. Integrity is a value that corresponds to greed and corruption. It can be the behavioral choice of a schemer who lives in a temple, or it can be said to be the attitude of ordinary people far away. The culture of integrity is a behavioral habit and way of doing things, a value choice, and a cultural pursuit that everyone can practice, and this cultural pursuit has the quality of an advanced culture.

2. Integrity culture and incorruptible government culture

Integrity culture is a category that is closely related to and distinct from the incorruptible government culture. Integrity culture is a culture related to the integrity of "government affairs", that is, the cultural field for politicians and government affairs activities. The objects it adjusts are mainly the requirements of politicians and politicians who hold power, especially those who promote and ensure the operation of government affairs. Party and government leading cadres. Compared with the culture of integrity, the culture of integrity is more inclusive.

This kind of inclusiveness is mainly reflected in the aspects of subject, orientation, occupation and field.

From the perspective of the subject, the culture of integrity is popular and the public; in terms of orientation, the culture of integrity points not only to the power of the public, but also to maintain an honest attitude when engaging in any affairs with power; in terms of career In other words, not only public officials should be honest and dedicated, but also employees in any profession should be dedicated to their jobs, honest and self-disciplined, and establish and maintain a good professional image and reputation; in terms of field, the culture of integrity is applicable to any kind of interaction. In the field, not only public organizations must be honest and efficient when conducting business externally, but also be honest, trustworthy, upright and fair in various interpersonal interactions and affairs, and do not take advantage of opportunities to gain advantage and get stuck.

To sum up, the culture of integrity targets the issue of government integrity, while the culture of integrity advocates that all people should be honest and free from deception. If the culture of clean government is dedicated to eliminating officialdom and creating political clarity, then the culture of clean government helps to eliminate "all-people" crises and traps and promote the integrity and healthy development of society. Social progress and development require not only the improvement of systems and organizations, but also a healthy social organism and a benign cultural mechanism. In terms of cultural construction, both a culture of integrity and a culture of clean government can make a difference. The culture of integrity and the culture of clean government can complement each other and be fully integrated into the construction of advanced socialist culture with Chinese characteristics.

Through the above research, we can effectively position the corporate integrity culture and find directions and ideas for the refinement of corporate integrity culture.

3. Reasonable design to ensure the effectiveness of the construction of integrity culture

Integrity culture reflects the high-level pursuit of corporate management and is an important guarantee for strengthening the implementation of corporate strategies. Only with the unanimous consent of employees Only through recognition can we achieve practical results.

A culture of integrity should clarify four design principles: First, originality. Integrity culture must be original in expression and information content. It must be expressed in a novel and distinctive way to attract more employees' attention and allow employees to discover new meanings in things they are accustomed to. and form a lasting impression on the mind. The second is practicality. We should pay attention to the inheritance and refinement of the company's traditional culture of integrity, ensure the popularization of the company's culture of integrity, and make the culture of integrity truly become a management tool that serves the development of the enterprise. The third is systemic. Integrity culture should be a complete system, with each component interconnected and inherently logical. The fourth is humanity. The construction of a culture of integrity is the company's greatest care and concern for employees' growth process and future life. It uses cultural expressions to give full play to humanistic appeal, better educate and guide employees on how to be honest and conduct themselves, and play an edifying role.

Relevant models must be determined for the construction of a culture of integrity. In the process of establishing a culture of integrity system, we must follow the established construction model and integrate the culture of integrity throughout the entire process of enterprise production, operation, and service, as well as in all aspects of employees' learning, life, and work. The document system of the integrity culture should include the "Integrity Culture Manual" and the "Integrity Culture System Standards" composed of concepts and behaviors. This series of documents needs to be disseminated and popularized among all employees to lay the foundation for the construction of a culture of integrity.

4. Pay attention to cultural penetration and promote the culture of integrity to take root

There is a certain distance between the planning, induction, and generation of the culture of integrity to employee recognition and recognition. According to the multi-level needs of different groups for integrity culture, we must make full use of various cultural facilities and activity carriers to guide, unite and inspire people, continuously improve the integrity cultural quality of the majority of cadres and workers, and create a good atmosphere for fighting corruption and promoting integrity. First, we must pay attention to combining centralized publicity and daily publicity to achieve regular publicity and popularization of the culture of integrity. Organize and hold an integrity culture promotion and implementation meeting to focus on the integrity culture system documents. Carry out theme education and warning education, and set up integrity culture columns, special websites, etc. for media dissemination. Cultural penetration is carried out through the commitment to integrity, collection of integrity concepts, and the launch of "four advancement" activities for integrity culture. By building probity culture carriers, such as probity table signs, probity slogans, probity showcases, etc., the probity culture can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The second is to focus on moving the gate forward and create a culture of respecting integrity. We should not only focus on establishing a general code of conduct for all employees, but also focus on the particularities of different positions and implement job integrity standards so that the integrity culture can be deeply embedded in employees' specific job responsibilities and play a role in strengthening the concept. The third is to focus on effect tracking and achieve continuous improvement in the construction of a culture of integrity. Awareness questionnaires can be distributed within a certain range to analyze the level of implementation of the integrity culture and take effective measures to improve it. In the long run, the purpose of continuous improvement of the integrity culture can be achieved.

5. Improve the internal control mechanism and normalize the construction of a culture of integrity

The culture of integrity lies in construction and practice. It is necessary to gradually improve the internal control mechanism and achieve long-term operation of the construction of a culture of integrity.

First, the organizational leadership mechanism. Leading cadres at all levels are the first advocates, first designers, first propagandists and first practitioners of the construction of a clean culture. They play an important leading role in the construction of a clean culture. The construction of a clean culture must be included in corporate anti-corruption initiatives. The "top leaders" project of integrity is important, providing guarantees in terms of goals, measures, financial resources, etc., protecting the enthusiasm of employees, integrating the cultural concept of integrity into the practice of corporate management, and ultimately transforming it into economic and social benefits for the company.

The second is the target responsibility mechanism. Decompose the task of building a culture of integrity to relevant departments and units, implement target management, and implement it step by step. The third is to evaluate the incentive mechanism. Conduct quantitative analysis and evaluation of the work on the construction of a clean culture, link it with the joint responsibilities of each unit's work assessment, encourage all units and employees to actively participate in the construction of a clean culture, and promote the in-depth development of the construction of a clean culture. ;
