Out of the four constitutional audit criteria, on the basis of which NIK assesses the activity of audited entities, there is not much literature dedicated to integrity. The available literature usually provides a lexical definition of integrity only, emphasises its symbolic nature or presents it as a criterion that is inferior to legality and efficacy. The attempts that have been made to interpret the criterion of integrity do not refer to the practical interpretation that dates back to 1949. Whereas NIK, due to the lack of a legal definition, frequently used its right to define the standards of behaving with integrity in an authoritative manner. In his article, the author emphasises the importance of NIK’s defining of integrity in the non-legal and normative context, as well as presents the results of analyses of audit statements from seven Regional Branches of NIK, which prove that the interpretations adopted do not always fall into the available understanding of the notion of integrity.

Integrity ought logically to be a particularly important concept within political science. If those acting within the political system do not have integrity, our ability to trust them, to have confidence in their actions, and perhaps even to consider them legitimate can be challenged. Indeed, the very concept of integrity goes some way towards underwriting positive views of political actors. Yet, despite this importance, political science as a discipline has perhaps focused too little on questions of integrity. Where political science has looked at the subject of integrity, it has often done so without using the specific linguistic formulation “integrity”. Most commonly, the focus has instead been on “corruption”-a strand of research which has produced results that cannot always be translated into discussions of integrity, by virtue of its narrower focus upon the “negative pole” of public ethics. Other measures, such as “Quality of Government”, focus on positive attributes, notably impartiality, but this also fails fully to capture the notion of integrity: dishonesty can be impartial. Specific formal “codes” used within public life and among political practitioners can be much more nuanced than the most widely used measures, and can be much closer to what we understand-academically-as “integrity”. This paper argues that the hard conceptual and empirical work of elaborating integrity into a fully operationalizable concept offers the potential reward of an analytical concept that is more closely aligned with political reality.

Abstract. The paper begins with some introductory remarks that explain why understanding education as a coherent human practice is necessary for a proper account of ethics in the field of education. The authors take three steps: presenting education as a practice in its own right, discussing the concept of thinking in the context of educational practice and finally revealing some practical consequences of the inherent ethics of education. The paper invites readers to further investigation rather than giving ready-at-hand answers. It challenges conventional approaches to ethics in education and seeks to provide a more adequate and appropriate context for pedagogical discourse on ethics.

By decision no. 32 of 2015, “On the establishment of a special parliamentary commission for the implementation of the issues in the resolution on the agreement between the majority and the opposition in the Albanian Parliament” was approved the establishment of a special parliamentary commission for the implementation of the resolution adopted on 24 December 2014, which, among other things, foresaw the commitment of the parties involved to work together with consensus, supported by the European Union, on the issue of individuals with criminal records, who hold a public post or seek to be elected or appointed to one, based on European standards and the assistance of the Venice Commission. On 17 December 2015, Members of the Albanian Parliament adopt by consensus the constitutional amendments and legislative framework which are necessary to introduce in our country a clear mechanism for the exclusion of criminal offenders from public offices. In this paper we examine regulatory issues relating to the legal framework necessary to guarantee the integrity of public officials, the verification and ascertainment of the prohibition of exercising public functions and the implementation of the prohibitive measures provided for by law no. 138/2015 “On guaranteeing the integrity of the persons elected and/or appointed to, or exercising public functions”, the so called “decriminalisation” law.

Alienated morality. Bernard Williams’ critique of utilitarianism: The paper aims at reconstructing Bernard Williams’ critique of utilitarianism, in order to show that it is primarily motivated by the British philosopher’s opposition to this theory’s understanding of the relationship between the agent and her actions. After discussing Williams’ arguments against what he sees as the oversimplified moral psychology of utilitarianism, and his doubts regarding the coherence between utilitarian objectives and utilitarian methods, the paper will focus on his “argument form integrity”. As we will see, it allows Williams to question utilitarianism’s ability to account for the relationship between the identity of the agent and her actions, and as a result, deny the effectiveness of the notion of utility as a source of moral motivation.

The author presents an integral vision of a human being as the foundation for understanding vocation and respect for life. It emphasizes the truths: man as a body and spirit being; the dignity and worth of every person created in the image and likeness of God; the vocation to love, i.e. the ability to give oneself as a gift. As a source for reflection, it is the light of God’s truth found in the Holy Scriptures and in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The author shows the socio-cultural problems related to the lack of respect for human values that are taking place today. It presents the necessity of catechesis in social life, which is to respond with faith to human existence. It presents the problems posed by the world and the response of catechetical content to particular threats.

This paper deals with two constructs – social desirability and integrity. Both constructs are related to honesty and trustfulness. Socially desirable responding interferes with accurate self-presentation and therefore can contaminate data from self-report questionnaires (Paulhus, 2002). Person with integrity is one who is not only honest but also has a strong sense for moral principles and is consistent (Dudzinski, 2004). Integrity is one of character strengths and virtues (Peterson & Seligmana, 2004a). Integrity and social desirability are operationalized by questionnaires. Using qualitative methods to assess social desirability and integrity can help to establish a conceptual framework of both vaguely defines constructs (Barnard, Schurink, & De Beer, 2008). The main aim of this study is to develop a semi-structured interview assessing integrity and social desirability. The interview is based on original Czech test battery focusing on integrity at the workplace – Integrita v Pracovním Prostředí (Příhodová et al., 2017). Specifically, overt integrity test Integrita v Pracovním a Běžném Životě alongside with questionnaire assessing social desirability was used. Semantic and correlation analysis of these two questionnaires helped to create a total of eight questions forming the semi-structured interview. The questions mainly cover lying, cheating and theft. Each question includes a short story from everyday life, and the respondent is asked to judge his or her behaviour in the presented situation and subsequently the behaviour of others as well. Respondents are asked to judge behaviour of others because it´s hypothesised that dishonest behaviour is more likely to occur in respondents who approve of dishonest behaviour of others, in those who have a positive attitude towards dishonest behaviour in general and in those who have behaved dishonestly in the past (Van Iddekinge, Roth, Raymark, & Odle-Dusseau, 2012). Eight respondents (4 women, 4 men, 21 to 61 years old) from department n.2 of National Institute of Mental Health took part in the first research using a newly developed semi-structured interview. Besides the semi-structured interview Integrita v Pracovním a Běžném Životě as overt integrity test and a questionnaire assessing social desirability was used. Short demographic questionnaire was presented as well. Based on their integrity level according to integrity test results the respondents were divided into three groups to low integrity group (N = 3), medium integrity group (N = 3) and high integrity group (N = 2). Data obtained from the interviews were analysed while theoretical background how people with different levels of integrity differ was considered. The results showed that th semi-structured interview can distinguish respondents by their level of integrity. The distinction is possible through respondents’ description of their own behaviour, usage of moral disengagement and their preferences to make either internal or external attributions. Distinguishing different levels of tendencies to socially desirable responding was not possible due to homogeneity of the research group in observed trait.

Creating a "mobbing-safe" working environment can be a real challenge; to achieve it, a better understanding of related constructs is necessary. To obtain insight into researchers' attitudes toward workplace mobbing and behavioural intentions, we used a case scenario method. The results show that respondents, on average, consider the mobbing cases presented in a questionnaire to be very serious. Their attitudes and behavioural intentions depend more on their opinion about colleagues' attitudes and related intentions and less on their own, which shows a lower integrity than desired. Low willingness to report the violator, lenient discipline sanctions and the absence of proper organisational rules create favourable conditions for workplace mobbing in Slovenian public research organisations. This paper also proposes measures based on the research findings of various authors and identifies new questions that could be addressed in further research.

The author focuses on the issue of the "good life" in relation to a strong ideal of flexibility that operates in contemporary western culture. The era we live in may be called a "continuous stream of innovations" and can be characterized by a fundamental requirement "to adapt flexibly and cope with the new". The need for such flexibility is mentally and physically demanding; the demands also mark the approach to values, the ideas of the good life and the project of the paths in life. Contemporary people in western civilization are exposed to the pressure of modern culture that has caused problems in the past decades as a result of the incompatibility of its fragmentary value systems. People today apply their abilities in a never-ending whirl of activities and effort where there is no more space available for becoming aware of and for perceiving the deeper meaning of and formulating their specific ideal of the good life.

Since several years already, a public law has been adopted in the Republic of Albania on the civil servants as well as their ethics in workplace. Integrity of civil servants and prevention of corruption are two key elements needed highly required from the latter aiming at serving the public interest at best. The legislation is a key measure to reach such a goal. This papers aims at assessing the efficacy of the two main laws, the status of civil service and rules of ethics for such a pursue and their consistency with best international practices of provisions of civil service legislation related to recruitment, promotion, job security, the independence and capacity of the body/bodies responsible for oversight, including OECD/SIGMA and Council of Europe recommendations. The paper presents several suggestions, according to which either the integrity of civil service recruitment should be better monitored or several legislation amendments are needed.

This article examines the relationship between politics and public relations, based on recent developments in Sweden and Norway. It has become increasingly common for PR firms to offer well-paid job opportunities for former politicians. Then, after some years as advisors in public affairs, including lobbying activity, some of them return to politics as members of the government, press officers or advisors. The article discusses the background for this development, and poses some questions concerning integrity and the possible consequences for democracy.

Globalization of social relations determines the range and vector of development of main operative forces of communicative interaction. In particular, innovative technologies and multiculturalism of the information flows become defining, which is especially important in the issues of modern education. There is a significant strengthening of the role of the multicultural component of information represented in a sign form and creating a materialized mediator in the interaction of consciousnesses. The article deals with the questions of a multicultural aspect of educational information in the learning process.

The article presents an in-depth and detailed reflection on the concept of „integral interpretation” put forward by the Polish musicologist Mieczysław Tomaszewski. The problematics of interpretation has for many years been the focus of Tomaszewski’s attention and interest, as evidenced by his numerous publications devoted to it. They culminate in the formulation of this concept, described by the author as the method of an adequate interpretation of a musical work. In contrast to many contemporary approaches to the issue of the scope of musicology’s subject area, for Tomaszewski the concept of a musical work is central to the discipline, and he poses questions concerning its ontology and understanding in the spirit of Roman Ingarden’s theory of musical work, to which he frequently refers. Tomaszewski regards the process of interpretation as a kind of „rising” to the level of the work, the meaning of which (intentio operis), often identified with the authorial meaning (intentio auctoris), stands at the highest point in the hierarchy of meanings ascribed - from this point of view - to the work. In turn, the work itself functions in different phases, existing as a score, a performance, a result of the processes of perception and as its reception within a culture. In my article I attempt not only to present Tomaszewski’s method, but above all to argue against its anachronicity and limitations resulting from a lack of reference both to contemporary artistic practice and contemporary research methodology in the humanities and in musicology.

The article discusses the political reasons for the Khmelnytsky Uprising, as they were expressed in the opinions of the nobility of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The outbreak of the Cossack insurrection led by Bohdan Khmelnytsky with the beginning of 1648, which from the first moment stimulated the broad strata of Ukrainian society and quickly transformed into a national liberation war, provoked terror in broad circles of the nobility. An additional factor influencing the mood of the noblemen was the growing awareness of Khmelnytsky’s political ambitions, the implementation of which was a deadly threat to the current political system of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Therefore, the main part of the publication is devoted to discussing the views of the nobility on the subject of political motives underlying the Cossacks’ armed resistance against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. These opinions fundamentally influenced the noblemen’s assessment of the nature of the uprising. Detailed analysis is presented concerning such sources as correspondence, lauda, and sejmik instructions as well as occasional and journalistic literature. It is emphasised that there was a conviction among the nobility of the Republic of the political motives of the Cossack uprising. This conviction was based mainly on the news coming to the noblemen about Khmelnytsky’s aspirations to separate Ukraine and build an independent state entity, referred to by the nobility as the Russian Principality. Understanding of the emancipatory aspirations of the insurgents by the gentry had a huge impact on the shape of the Republic of Poland’s policy towards the events in Ukraine in the second half of the seventeenth century. Consequently, one of its main goals was to stop the movement that posed a threat to the wholeness and existence of the state.

The purpose of this article is to conduct an axiological and legal analysis of the most popular model of participatory budgeting in Poland (the plebiscite model), being a special form of public consultation that allows the residents to decide each year on a part of the commune’s budget expenditure by direct voting. According to the paper’s hypothesis, both the PB legal rules as well as the practice of its application in Poland are not axiologically neutral, which means that they have a positive or negative impact on certain public values, appropriately strengthening or violating them. In the research, the combination of three coherent methods was used: (i) a literature analysis, (ii) the dogmatic and legal method, and (iii) interviews conducted with three groups of PB participants, i.e. municipal officials responsible for the organization of PB procedure, municipal councillors, and residents. The research covers six Polish cities and bases on a catalogue of nodal public values including: human dignity, sustainability, citizen involvement, openness, secrecy, compromise, integrity, and robustness. The research leads to the conclusion that the plebiscite BP in Poland is not axiologically neutral, its rules have both a positive and negative impact on particular nodal public values, however the scale of negative impact is greater than the scale of the positive one.

The purpose of the article is to analyse the relationship between judicial integrity and the institution of votum separatum. The first part concerns the relationship between the concepts of a definite approach to a professional role performed and the institution of votum separatum. The second part of the paper attempts to answer the question whether care about maintaining integrity can actually be attributed to dissents submitted to the Constitutional Tribunal. The article attempts to justify a conclusion that judicial integrity does not constitute the main function of dissents that are actually submitted to the Tribunal. The main obstacle is interpreting cases in which such dissents were submitted, as axiological opposites. Thus, what can be attributable to dissents is definite values, for the protection of which these dissents are submitted, such as e.g. individual rights or care about the public interest. However, the relation of these values to judicial integrity is not obvious. This results from the fact that axiological characteristics attributed to the same judge’s dissents are subject to change. That change results not from the inconsistency of beliefs, but from the characteristics of the case examined.

Celem artykułu jest analiza związku integralności sędziowskiej oraz instytucji votum separatum. W pierwszej części dotyczy on związku pomiędzy koncepcjami określonego stosunku do wykonywanej roli zawodowej a instytucją votum separatum. W drugiej zaś autor próbuje odpowiedzieć na pytanie, czy faktycznie składanym zdaniom odrębnym w Trybunale Konstytucyjnym można przypisać troskę o zachowanie integralności. Autor próbuje uzasadnić wniosek, że integralność sędziowska nie stanowi głównej funkcji faktycznie składanych zdań odrębnych w Trybunale. Główną przeszkodą jest odczytywanie spraw, w których zostało ono złożone, jako aksjologicznych opozycji. Zdaniom odrębnym można więc przypisać określone wartości, w obronie których są składane, jak np. prawa jednostki czy troska o interes publiczny, jednak związek tych wartości z sędziowską integralnością nie jest oczywisty. Wynika to stąd, że przypisywane zdaniom odrębnym tego samego sędziego aksjologiczne charakterystyki są zmienne. Zmiana ta zaś wynika nie z niespójności poglądów, ale charakterystyki rozpoznawanej sprawy.

The author of the article explores the views of Lithuanian–American thinker Thomas Kasulis on the interaction between emotions and ethical principles. This interaction is revealed in the contexts of the concepts of intimacy and integrity analysed by the philosopher. Intimacy is perceived as a framework of sociocultural structures of society, which determine the behavioural patterns and choices of individuals. In the ethical sphere, Kasulis attributes responsibility to integrity, which he links in his comparative analysis to Western and Eastern philosophies. Another philosophical concept, namely intimacy, is associated by the philosopher with relationships between people and values revealed in them. In communication, values are expressed not only through language but also through emotions. Kasulis particularly emphasizes sympathy, which is inherent in the cultural orientation of intimacy. For this reason, the article also analyses the nature of sympathy and its relationship to love, compassion, favour and trust. The article is based on the assumption that in the hermeneutics of the texts of comparative philosophy, it is possible to find both differences and similarities in the ideas of heterogeneous civilisations, and that the emotional-value vision emerging in these contexts makes it possible to look differently at cultural phenomena that appear in everyday life.

The article is aimed at showing the integral upbringing and its role in the pedagogical qualitative research. This kind of upbringing as an object of the pedagogical research at the same time has an impact on the subject of research – the researcher and the researched. It comes to it through the authenticity of form-teacher realizing one of its tasks – to know the pupil – the researched. If such an upbringing activity pursues to the integral development of a person in the atmosphere of mutual respect and dignity, so analogically in the qualitative research the integrity between the researcher and the researched takes place. This integrity is shown in two aspects: the research paradigm and research methods sensitive to a person.

Artykuł ma na celu ukazanie wychowania integralnego i jego roli w jakościowych badaniach pedagogicznych. Wychowanie to, będąc przedmiotem badań pedagogicznych, jednocześnie oddziałuje na podmioty badania – badacza i badanego. Dochodzi do tego poprzez autentyczność wychowawcy – badacza realizującego jedno ze swoich zadań – poznawanie wychowanka – badanego. Jeśli działaniom wychowawczym przyświeca dążenie do integralnego rozwoju osoby w atmosferze wzajemnego poszanowania i godności, to analogicznie w badaniach jakościowych dochodzi do integralności między badaczem, badanym i wynikami badań. Owa integralność wyraża się w dwóch aspektach: paradygmacie badawczym oraz metodach badawczych wrażliwych na osobę.
