Standards and Indicators of Organizational Integrity in Educational Organizations in Saudi Arabia in Light of the Kingdom's 2030 Vision

Abstract

While most research approaches in the field of integrity primarily focus on the non-ethical aspect and addressing corruption, there is a need for a more comprehensive investigation of the ethical dimension. This is precisely the foundation upon which this study is built. The current study aimed to reveal the most significant standards and indicators of organizational integrity for educational organizations in Saudi Arabia in light of the Kingdom’s 2030Vision. The study surveyed the opinions of a deliberate sample consisting of (76) experts in public and educational administration utilizing the remote conference technique (Delphi method) on the most important standards and indicators of organizational integrity in educational organizations. The data was analyzed and interpreted. One of the key findings of the study was the identification of four standards for organizational integrity in educational organizations in Saudi Arabia in light of the 2030 vision. Each standard has a number of indicators as follows: The cultural standard included (12) indicators, the procedural standard included (14) indicators, the behavioral standard included (13) indicators, and the distributional standard included (12) indicators. Based on the study findings recommendations were presented and suggestions for implementation procedures were proposed.
