Directions (Q. 1-10): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Everyone deals with integrity underlying moral issue in their everyday life. Most of our parents would
have taught us during our growing up years that we must inculcate this virtue because it is the right thing
to do. Question arises-What is integrity? It means honesty - keeping to one's word even if it costs us
dearly to do so. If you pledge to 'love, honour and cherish your spouse until death do you part', you must
honour that promise. If you agree to do a task, you must do it.
Integrity comes in many forms, but honesty and dependability are two traits that are expected in most
workplace situations. Irresponsible behaviour and distrust can make a work environment tense and
uncomfortable. A strong work ethic shows co-workers and clients that you're reliable and take your
responsibilities seriously. Polite communication, respectable behaviour and fiscal irresponsibility also
help you stand out as a trustworthy employee.
Working diligently when you're on the clock is a clear example of workplace integrity. Socializing,
surfing the Internet, making personal phone calls, texting and frequent snacking are activities that
detract from work time. Saving those activities for break time will show your boss, co-workers and
customers that you work hard when you're on the clock. Even if you don't actually clock in and out with
a time card, focusing on your work responsibilities while you're at your desk, work station or production
area will showcase your strong work habits.
Abiding by company policies is another powerful way to demonstrate integrity. Cutting corners and
neglecting to follow workplace regulations can lead to mistakes, problems and even dangerous situations.
Your willingness to properly record financial transactions, safely dispense of hazardous or toxic
materials, follow company protocol for dealing with clients, perform clean-up or set-up procedures and
properly maintain equipment shows others that you're not just looking for the easy way out. Establishing
yourself as a trustworthy worker who submits to company policies shows your boss and coworkers that
you'll faithfully carry out your duties.
Respecting those you work with reveals your desire to create a healthy work environment. Polite
communication, appropriate interactions and respect for co-workers' thoughts and ideas demonstrate
your ability to look beyond your own interests to pursue team centred work goals. As you deal with coworkers honestly and respectfully, you establish a level of trust with them. Integrity in the workplace also
stems from moral and ethical behaviour. Making sure there's no reason to question your conduct is one
of the best ways to prove that you are an honest and dependable employee. Avoid using company products
or equipment for personal use and submit exact receipts for travel or meal reimbursements. Don't overpromise what you can't provide and strive to meet deadlines. Work productively and cooperate during
company meetings so you don't appear lazy or apathetic, and don't call in sick if you aren't. By exhibiting
responsible behaviour, you don't give co-workers or clients the opportunity to question your integrity.
