on individuals’ moral integrity and, later, its reflection in the workplace. This study also investigated the mediation effect of job experience on this relationship. Differences in moral integrity between males and females were further analyzed to compare. For data collection, three hundred and fifty-three executives from different industries were approached through convenience sampling. Data was then analyzed through SPSS 24.0 using inferential statistics. The findings showed

Moreover, no gender difference could be found, concluding that moral integrity was equally essential for employees of both genders. The study revealed the aspects that can contribute to the moral integrity of individuals, and education seemed to be the most important one. The
