“…Ethical leadership, as Thoms (2008, p. 423) remarked, requires encouraging ethical practices while discouraging unethical ones, and developing mutual trust and respect among followers. The ability to understand the content and principles of ethical leadership gives managers a chance to build trust within their organizations and create sustainable strategic advantage (Caldwell et al, 2008).…”

This empirical study aims to analyze the effect of ethical leadership on employees' citizenship behavior in organization, commitment, and job satisfaction by determining how the trust-based relationships within the organization are related to that effect. Data were gathered from 328 employees who are employed in various durable goods manufacturing companies in organized industrial region in Ankara/Turkey. The consequences of structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that ethical leadership was related to trust both in leader and in organization. In accordance with the expectations, the results indicated that trust in leader partially mediated the relationship between ethical leadership, organizational commitment, satisfaction from job, and organizational citizenship behavior. On the other hand, trust in organization partially mediated the relationship between citizenship behavior in organization, commitment and ethical leadership. Contrary to the expectations, it was observed that the relationship between ethical leadership and satisfaction from job was not mediated by trust in organization.

“…Leadership Leaders have been identified as 'ethical stewards' who create organisational systems which support their values (Caldwell et al, 2008). Dhar and Mishra (2001, p. 254) assert that in services, leadership is about 'purpose-process-people', rather than 'strategy-structure-systems'; therefore, leadership is vital to attract the best talent and best leverage their skills and knowledge.…”

“…De Ruyter et al (2009) suggest that environmentally responsible behavior within boundary-spanning teams can be understood through the concept of environmental stewardship they define as Ba collectively held sense of responsibility toward the environment, as reflected in the policies, procedures, and actions used during employee encounters with customers^ (de Ruyter et al 2009, p. 247). Most research on stewardship focuses on managers' responsibility for maximizing the long-term, economic wealth of their organization, but its relevance for emerging environmental responsibility concepts also has been acknowledged (Caldwell et al 2008;Kotler 2011). Stewardship implies a willingness to take personal responsibility for a long-term benefit, even if it means subjugating personal interests in the short term (Block 1993;Davis et al 1997;Hernandez 2012).…”

Retailers increasingly recognize that environmental responsibility is a strategic imperative. However, little research has investigated or identified the factors that facilitate the successful implementation of environmentally responsible strategies across a network of customer-facing sales units (stores). We propose that a store manager's ability to lead by example facilitates this process by fostering a supportive climate for store environmental stewardship (SENS-climate). By examining the influence of store managers' actions on sales associates' perceptions of the SENS-climate, as well as the subsequent impact on their performance-measured by margins, as well as sales of green and regular products-this study demonstrates that store managers can foster a SENS-climate by articulating their prioritization of environmental responsibility in their operational decisions. These positive effects are sustained by relational factors, such as the moderating effect of the store manager-sales associate dyadic tenure. In contrast, when store managers display high variability in their environmental orientation, it hinders the development of SENS-climate perceptions among sales associates. If sales associates perceive an enabling SENS-climate, they achieve higher margins and more green but fewer regular sales.
