Many public sector organisations in developing countries are working ineffectively, which is due considerably to weak standards of governance that result in widespread corruption. Accordingly, this article considers how a public organisation in a corrupt political-economic environment can successfully implement measures to enhance its integrity through an emphasis especially on the role and challenges of ethical leadership. The particular focus is a large state-owned enterprise responsible for the distribution of electricity in Indonesia. The discussion is based on responses to a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews, with the findings confirming that ethical leadership at various levels within and beyond an organisation plays a pivotal role in fostering and maintaining high organisational integrity.
