(IPE) in the management of a public sector in Malaysia. This study employed a quantitative method through
a survey using questionnaires which were distributed to a total of 198 managerial and professional employees

IPE and the four most prominent were religious appreciation, teamwork, leadership and attitude which were the
core elements towards sustainable IPE practice. Other five factors which scored highly were regulation, training,
environment, motivation and public complaint. This study helps in bridging the gaps in literature on ethics
