“…Prior studies have explored the positive influences of felt obligation on helping behavior, green behavior, and voice behavior based on the social exchange theory and the social identity theory (Eisenberger et al, 2001 ; Campbell et al, 2004 ; Al Halbusi et al, 2022a ). Research also suggests that ethical leadership and organizational justice are important in fostering felt obligation and promoting ethical behavior (Al Halbusi et al, 2021b ; Halbusi et al, 2021 ).…”

IntroductionPsychological entitlement and felt obligation are two correlated but distinctive conceptions. Prior studies have mainly explored their influences on employees' (un)ethical behavior, respectively. Recently, several studies suggest the interactive impacts of psychological entitlement with felt obligation on individual behavioral choices. In consistency with these studies, the present study focuses on the influences of (in)congruences in psychological entitlement and felt obligation on employees' (un)ethical behavior.MethodsA two-wave multi-source questionnaire survey is conducted to collect 202 matched questionnaires from full-time Chinese workers. The polynomial regression with response surface analysis is employed to test hypotheses.ResultsThe results indicate that: (1) employees have higher levels of work engagement and helping behavior but lower levels of unethical behavior when their psychological entitlement and felt obligation are balanced at higher levels rather than lower levels; (2) employees have higher levels of work engagement and helping behavior but lower levels of unethical behavior when they have higher levels of felt obligation but lower levels of psychological entitlement compared to those having lower levels of felt obligation but higher levels of psychological entitlement; and (3) work engagement mediates the relationship between (in)congruences in psychological entitlement and felt obligation and employees' helping behavior and unethical behavior.DiscussionThis study provides a novel insight into the interactive influences of (in)congruence in psychological entitlement and felt obligation on employees' ethical behavioral choices.

“…Ethical leaders play an active role in directing the transparent communication environment. Given the explanation, the study shows that unethical climate decreases the influence of moral leadership, thereby devastatingly affecting the organization’s outcome and employees’ behavior ( Halbusi et al, 2021 ). Undoubtedly, leaders play a significant role in building the organization’s ethical climate with maintaining OT.…”

In addition, the study used a convenient sampling technique for collecting the data from 276 employees working in the service sector of Macau. Essentially, questionnaires had used as the fundamental tool guiding the data collection method. The findings indicate a positive and significant relationship between EL, ES, MR, and perceived OT. The MR and perceived OT have significant mediating effects between EL and ES. The study is beneficial for the service sector of Macau to plan the strategies for their employees in terms of organizational sustainability and success. The study is also helpful for the government to understand EL and for the researcher to search the new aspects of EL in organizations for future research direction.

“…Ethical leaders are observed with numerous moral values; trustworthiness, honesty, reliability, fairness, and thoughtful in employing principled standards (Yukl et.al., 2013).

Based on social exchange theory (SET) and social learning theory (SLT), followers reciprocate the behaviours of their leaders and followers imitate the behaviours of their leaders and try to do the same. Following the tenet, the purpose of this study is to examine the impact of ethical leadership on organizational trust, work engagement, and job-related affective wellbeing in the COVID-19 context. Data was collected from the nursing staff of three big Pakistani cities hospitals i.e. Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad (as these cities represent the entire population). Out of 700, the 390 survey questionnaires were finalized for data analysis. It was noted that ethical leadership is positively associated with organizational trust, work engagement, and job-related affective wellbeing.
