This study explores the relationship between integrity management practices and organizational performance in Bank Z, a development financial institution in Malaysia, and examines the mediating role of corporate culture. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from managerial staff through structured questionnaires. The findings reveal a significant positive impact of integrity management on organizational performance, with a direct contribution of 44.1%, while corporate culture mediates an additional 23.6%. These results suggest that embedding ethical practices within a strong corporate culture enhances performance by fostering trust, improving employee morale, and reducing reputational risks. The study recommends that organizations focus on integrating integrity into their cultural frameworks and calls for broader research across different financial institutions.
