N2 - This chapter presents a conceptual framework concerning integrity and integrity violations. First, eight views on integrity are sketched, varying from wholeness and incorruptibility to the presence of moral reflection, to acting in accordance with law and codes or - my perspective - in accordance with the relevant moral values and norms (and rules). Second, 10 types of behaviour that violate these norms and values are distinguished. These integrity violations vary from corruption and fraud to intimidation and discrimination (work-related and in private time). Integrity thus is about good and bad behaviour, based on what we share and what really matters. So, when someone’s integrity is put in doubt, that really damages and hurts the accused. Integrity matters, and thus it is really important to be careful in using the integrity word. Integritism refers to the possible misuse, to inappropriate accusations on violating integrity, without good reason. Integritism does really matter.
