Question

How does a Christian appropriately respond to the tension between “integrity at all cost”  and “loyalty and submission to the employer” when it becomes clear in a set of circumstances that the former will be perceived as contradicting the latter – resulting in damage to job security and/or career advancement? Use examples and scriptures to illustrate your point. Think in terms of how could one's stance impact the strategic or operational goals of an organization.

Answer 1

Integrity at all cost and loyalty to the employer can be contradicting during the situation when employer himself is a corrupt employer who engages in malpractices that can harm the customers in future. During this situation, it is important to prioritise integrity at all cost even if it means losing the job. According to Christianity it is important to involve in action that create harmony in society rather than causing harm to the society at large.
