Ethical Leadership at Work and Workplace Well-Being of Employees in a Coal Power Plant

Abstract

This study proposed that ethical leadership at work and workplace well-being are significantly related and that ethical leadership could also significantly influence workplace well-being. There was a total of 122 samples in this study, which included the rank and file workers and employees in a coal power plant, with the exclusion of the top management. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as the mean and standard deviation, Pearson r, and multiple regression analysis. Results yielded high levels of ethical leadership at work and workplace well-being. Also, the correlation test revealed a significant relationship between the two variables in this study. In addition, the regression analysis revealed a significant influence of ethical leadership on workplace well-being. Finally, the regression models revealed that people-orientation is the best predictor for workplace well-being. The paper offers further discussion of the results.
