Abstract
Integrity is a fundamental element in ensuring that school administration is conducted transparently, responsibly, and in accordance with sound governance principles. This study aimed to examine the relationship between disciplinary action management practices and integrity among primary school administrators in Sabah. A quantitative approach was employed involving 426 primary school administrators from 12 selected districts in Sabah. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analysed using Pearson correlation analysis to determine the direction and strength of the relationships between the study variables. The findings revealed a positive and significant relationship between management practices and integrity (r = .294, p < .001). Further analysis across the dimensions of management practices also indicated significant positive relationships for planning (r = .167, p = .001), problem solving (r = .223, p < .001), guidance (r = .106, p = .028), and operational supervision (r = .245, p < .001). These findings indicate that better management practices are associated with higher levels of integrity among school administrators. The study highlights the importance of strengthening systematic management practices as an approach to supporting the cultivation of integrity within school administration.
