Abstract
The aim of this research was to explore students’ perspectives on the level of group leaders’ ethical standards when leading group projects. One hundred and fifty-five students taking the Ethnic Relations subject in the Technical University of Malaysia Malacca (UTeM), in Durian Tunggal, Melaka, Malaysia, participated in this study. The students answered the Craig and Gustafson perceived leader integrity scale (PLIS) to indicate their perception of ethics and integrity of the group leaders. The descriptive results have shown that the item related to the leader’s personal interest ranked highly among issues that the students perceived as being unethically practiced by the group leaders. The majority of them also perceived that the group leaders had low ethical standards, while leading the team to complete the group projects. Therefore, there is an urgent need for students to be constantly exposed to the concept of ethics and integrity from early on. Lecturers also play a crucial role in reinforcing these concepts by continuing to share cases and stories about the importance of ethics and the consequences of its absence in terms of its impact on the nation’s development and prosperity.
