The impact of ethical leadership on KM practices and performance

AbstractRecent advancements in leadership research emphasise the influential role of ethical leadership in shaping positive employee behaviour. However, there remains unclear the precise impact of ethical leadership on organisational performance and its interaction with knowledge creation and knowledge networks. Drawing on both the knowledge‐based view and the ethical leadership literature, this study asserts a positive influence of ethical leadership on both organisational performance and knowledge creation. Furthermore, we propose that knowledge creation positively impacts knowledge networks, which, in turn, exert a positive influence on organisational performance. To validate these propositions, we employ structural equation modelling on a dataset comprising 205 Turkish firms. Our study contributes to the (ethical) leadership literature as one of the initial attempts to examine the relationship between ethical leadership and organisational performance while considering the roles of knowledge creation and knowledge networks.

How ethical leaders foster salesperson creativity: exploring the roles of social power, job autonomy, and internal competitive work environment

ABSTRACT While the benefits of salesforce creativity are well-documented, recent calls underscore the lack of research on how to develop a creative salesforce. Adopting social learning theory, we position ethical leadership as the focal antecedent to creative performance. Using this theoretical lens, we construct a model that explores two moderators and one mediator in this relationship. Analyzing survey responses from salespeople, we reveal that ethical leadership enhances social power, which in turn, increases creative performance. Results also show that job autonomy strengthens the positive influence of ethical leadership on social power while an internal competitive work environment weakens it.

The Influence of Ethical Leadership on Organisational Culture and Employee Behaviour; The Adopted Rore, a Posiitive Impact

In today’s complex and dynamic business world, the significance of ethical leadership in shaping employee behavior and company culture has received a lot of attention. The study employed a quantitative design using questionnaires to gather data, and the statistical software (SPSS) version 16 was utilized for data analysis to examine the impact of ethical leadership on employee behavior. Purposive sampling was employed in a deliberate and random selection process to identify 50 people from various industries in Accra for the research population. Ethical leaders set an example for their employees by acting morally and upholding the company’s values. Employees who follow moral role models are more likely to do prosocial actions, such as helping colleagues, becoming good corporate citizens, and demonstrating loyalty to the organization. The study came to the conclusion that moral leadership has an effect on both business culture and employee behavior. Ethical leadership, defined by its dedication to moral principles, honesty, and principled judgment, has been demonstrated to be essential to the establishment and maintenance of a strong workplace culture. Leaders who uphold moral standards act as role models, affecting the attitudes and actions of those under them. Organizations were advised to keep emphasizing the need of holding staff members accountable for unethical actions. Organizations should strategically place and empower leaders to function as ethical role models in light of the projected effect that ethical leadership has on employee behavior. Programs for developing leaders should include a strong emphasis on the value of moral leadership conduct and how it influences workers’ behavior. By recognizing the significance of ethical leadership, organizations may actively cultivate a culture that is consistent with ethical standards. In the long run, this will improve worker conduct and help the company succeed as a whole. The structure for further study is given by this abstract.

The Influence of Ethical Leadership on Employee Performance through Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Intrinsic Motivation

Employee performance and its antecedents have always been exciting research topics as employee performance impacts organizational success. Concerning this, leaders are considered to have a significant role in influencing employee performance. Despite being extensively discussed in the literature, little research has investigated ethical leadership as a construct. This research examines the impacts of ethical leadership, organizational citizenship behavior, and intrinsic motivation on performance. The novelty of this research is that it uses two mediating variables that have never been used to examine the association between ethical leadership and performance. A quantitative method was used, and data was collected using a survey. Results indicated that ethical leadership affected organizational citizenship behavior and intrinsic motivation but did not affect employee performance. Ethical leadership influences employee performance if mediated by organizational citizenship behavior. These results may provide new insights for scholars and leaders. Theoretically, this study is one of a few attempts to understand the link between ethical leadership and performance, especially in Eastern culture. Our study suggests leaders should demonstrate ethical leadership to promote OCB and employee motivation.

The cross-level influence of ethical leadership on employee’s OCBE: a two-wave study based on the social identity approach

The importance of organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE) has received increasing attention in recent years because organizations face increasing pressure from environmental deterioration. The purpose of this study is to use social identity theory to construct a cross-level theoretical model of ethical leadership on OCBE, and to explore the cross-level influential mechanisms of ethical leadership on OCBE. Data collection was conducted via a two-wave distribution of leader-employee paired questionnaires in 20 manufacturing companies in China. In the first wave, data about OCBE and team environmental atmosphere were collected from leaders. Subsequently, 2 months later, we conducted the second wave of data collection when data about ethical leadership and leader identity were obtained from their employees. The results showed that at the individual level, ethical leadership has a significant positive impact on employees’ OCBE, and such relationship is partially mediated by employees’ leader identity and positively moderated by team environmental atmosphere across levels. At the team level, ethical leadership has a significant positive impact on employees’ OCBE, and such relationship is completely mediated by team environmental atmosphere. This study investigates the cross-level influential mechanism of ethical leadership on OCBE in China and provides theoretical guidance for enterprises to promote OCBE effectively.

The influence of ethical leadership on teaching performance in public higher learning institutions

Employee performance is often problematic in the competition of organizations in a globalization and industrialization era. The purpose of this research is to investigate how ethical leadership influences teaching effectiveness in Tanzania's Public Higher Learning Institutions. The study focuses on how academic staff teaching performance is affected by role clarification and integrity. The study's target population includes 4,863 academic staff members at public HLIs in Tanzania, and 350 respondents were chosen from this group using a stratified simple random selection technique. Employees at public HLIs are bound to an ethical code of conduct and ethical values, and they are required to perform better so that the entire community can obtain high-quality educational services. Employee performance, on the other hand, is mediocre. A lack of required resources, inadequate leadership, low employee motivation, role ambiguity, and a lack of ethical guidance cause unsatisfactory performance; nevertheless, it is uncertain how much ethical leadership influences employee performance in teaching. The information was acquired by a self-administered questionnaire with closed-ended questions, and it was statistically examined through regression analysis. The findings show that role clarification and integrity have a positive impact on employees' performance in teaching in HLIs. HLI's leadership should take the lead in fostering ethical leadership among its employees by complying with laws and regulations (ethics codes).

The Differential Effects of Leader Food Safety Priority and Ethical Leadership on Food Safety Promotive and Prohibitive Voices: A Socially Desirable Responding Theory Perspective

ABSTRACT Studies on impact of different leadership styles on the promotive and prohibitive forms of food safety voices are limited. Therefore, drawing on socially desirable responding theory, this study examined the differential effects of leader food safety priority and ethical leadership on food handlers’ promotive and prohibitive forms of food safety voices. We found that leader food safety priority and ethical leadership influence employee voice through different mechanisms. Moreover, the indirect impact of leader food safety priority on promotive voices was stronger, while ethical leadership had a stronger indirect effect on prohibitive voice. Finally, leader – member exchange strengthened the indirect effects of leadership antecedents on both forms of food safety voices. This study provides theoretical and practical contributions to food safety voice literature.
