“…It has a critical influence on the work environment, integrity, values, moral principles, and competence of employees [1,33]. Cheng et al [34] concluded that a leader's ethics influence their behaviors. Research such as that by Avolio and Gardner [35] or Brown and Trevino [36] proposes that an ethical leader's behavior brings a positive outcome to a CEOs' performance.…”

This paper examines the moral reasoning trends of CEOs (chief executive officers) in the automotive industry, gauging their relations to ethical behaviors and scandals as well as analyzing the influence of scandals and other factors on their moral reasoning. For such a purpose, we carried out a moral reasoning categorization for the top 15 automotive companies in vehicle production in 2017 by applying Weber’s method to letters written by CEOs for the period 2013–2018. A positive global trend was observed, with some CEOs reaching high levels, although the evolution was uneven without clear patterns and, in the light of facts, not sufficient, at least in the short term. We also found evidence linking the moral reasoning stages with the ethical performance of companies and introduced the concept “tone ‘into’ the top”, reflecting how CEO moral reasoning can be shaped by the company and external factors. This paper stresses the importance of considering the moral tone at the top in relation to company ethical behaviors and the interest of education in business ethics. The outcome is useful for CEOs and other managers seeking to improve corporate social responsibility (CSR) and company ethical performance and to anticipate conflicts as well as to leverage for future research.

“…First, this study provides a new perspective for understanding the effect of ethical leadership on their subordinates. While previous studies had linked ethical leadership to work engagement [44,79], we go a step further to explore how ethical leadership affects young teachers' work engagement. This study empirically tests the proposition argued by Brown and Treviño [37] that ethical leadership is related to employees' outcomes.…”

This paper aims to examine the mediating role of organizational trust in the relationship between ethical leadership and young teachers’ work engagement, and the moderating effect of supervisor–subordinate (S–S) guanxi. S–S guanxi is a special interpersonal relationship in Chinese organizations. The sample in this study comprises 205 young teachers from 15 Chinese universities. The results reveal that organizational trust mediates the relationship between ethical leadership and young teachers’ work engagement. Moreover, S–S guanxi strengthens the positive relationship between organizational trust and young teachers’ work engagement, and the indirect effect of ethical leadership on young teachers’ work engagement through organizational trust. Based upon these findings, several theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

bResumo O tema da ética nas organizações tem ganhado relevo recentemente. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar a adaptação da Escala de Liderança Ética no Trabalho (Kalshoven, Den Hartog, & De Hoogh, 2011). O primeiro estudo apresenta escala traduzida e o teste exploratório da estrutura fatorial com uma amostra de 222 profissionais. Apesar de apresentar 7 fatores (AFE), a estrutura encontrada não correspondente ao modelo original. No estudo 2 (amostra de 3804 profissionais), o ajuste do modelo com estrutura fatorial original da escala foi testado (AFC) e apresentou melhor ajuste que os demais. Para mensurar a validade de construto, a relação da liderança ética com a satisfação com o líder e a supervisão abusiva foi testada. O padrão de relação esperado foi confirmado, sendo encontrada relação positiva com satisfação e negativa com supervisão abusiva. Juntos, os resultados sugerem que a ELET apresenta evidências de validade de construto e boas propriedades psicométricas. Ethical Leadership at Work Scale: validity evidence for the Brazilian version AbstractEthical issues have been a growing concern to organizations. The main goal of this study was to develop a Brazilian version of the Ethical Leadership at Work Scale (Kalshoven, Den Hartog, & De Hoogh, 2011). The first study presents the translated measure and an exploratory study of the factor structure with a sample of 222 employees. Even though the best solution had 7 factors (EFA), the solution found did not correspond to the originally proposed one. In study 2 (sample of 3,804 employees), the goodness of fit of the original factor structure was assessed (CFA). The originally proposed model presented the best fit. In order to assess construct validity, the relationship of ethical leadership with satisfaction with the leader and abusive supervision was measured. Findings confirmed the hypothesized positive relation with satisfaction with the leader and a negative one with abusive supervision. Overall, findings suggest the scale presents good psychometric properties and construct validity.
