[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) has established a 'Senior Public Officials Integrity Evaluation Plan' to spread a culture of integrity within the organization and improve individual integrity levels.


This evaluation will use the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission's standard survey model and will be conducted anonymously and confidentially online during June. The survey covers 19 items across four areas: 'Fair Job Performance,' 'Prohibition of Unjust Gains,' 'Promotion of a Healthy Public Service Culture,' and 'Leading by Example in Practicing Integrity.' A penalty deduction indicator for disciplinary matters will be applied to derive individual evaluation results.


The evaluation panel will be randomly selected by the system, consisting of 30 people per evaluated individual, including supervisors, colleagues, and junior officials who have worked together for more than 90 days.


Additionally, recognizing that senior officials' awareness of integrity and anti-corruption commitment are key factors in improving internal integrity, the evaluation, which last year was conducted for section chiefs (dong chiefs) and above, will be significantly expanded this year to include middle managers such as team leaders (grade 6).


The district plans to provide the evaluation results directly to senior public officials to encourage them to strengthen their own ethics and integrity, while also using the data at the institutional level to identify and improve corruption vulnerabilities.



In March, Eunpyeong-gu established a 'Comprehensive Plan for Integrity Improvement,' implementing various policies such as 'Integrity Mileage Operation,' 'Cartoon Integrity Education,' 'Expanded Integrity Senior Meetings,' and 'Integrity Quiz Competitions,' aiming to achieve a top-tier integrity rating this year with full efforts.
