The Relationship Between Conscientiousness and Agreeableness Personality Traits and Integrity Non-Compliance Among Police Officers in The Perlis Contingent: A Study From 2018 To 2021

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between conscientiousness and agreeableness with integrity non-compliance among police officers in the Perlis Contingent from 2018 to 2021. It aims to understand how officers interpret integrity, how conscientiousness influences their handling of integrity issues, and how agreeableness impacts their experiences and decisions. Using a qualitative approach, data was collected through document analysis, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. The study provides valuable insights into the dynamics of personality traits and integrity in law enforcement, offering evidence-based recommendations to enhance integrity management. These findings are essential for strengthening ethical conduct within the Perlis Contingent and the broader Malaysian police force, contributing to a more accountable and just society.
