“…Therefore, the dearth of literature on 'ethical leader employee' nexus seems to highlight the need for further investigation into the mechanisms through which ethical leadership puts a positive influence on employees' job performance and turnover intention. Since prior research has mostly emphasized the trust as a gauge to analyse the worth of the aforementioned nexus [10], this research, on the other hand, suggests that aligning the objectives between leaders and employees may serve as a significant mechanism to explain how ethical leadership is linked with employee job performance and turnover intention. In particular, following Brown et al [8] social learning context, it is supposed that ethical leaders impart similar values and objectives among their employees [12].…”

“…Ample of previous research has shown the connection between ethical leadership and employees' outcomes including employees' deviant behaviours, citizenship behaviours, and ethical cognition and conduct [4,13]. Ethical leaders consider themselves as trustworthy role models and important source of knowledge through their "normatively appropriate" behaviour [8; p.120] and open communication of moral values [27]. This helps to establish a mutual understanding of acceptable behaviours among employees, to enhance their learning, and to imitate the behaviours of leaders, which in turn fosters their work-related performance [4].…”

“…This theory suggests that ethical leaders use their influence on employees' behaviour, primarily using role modelling [29]. Thus, role modelling offers to employees the basis for learning those behaviours which are essential to exhibit well on job [27]. Ethical leaders are smart and genuine role models capturing the attention of their employees and affect them successfully by assisting to get their potential at work [28].…”

This study aims to examine the impact of ethical leadership on employees' job satisfaction, job performance, and turnover intention. A conceptual framework is developed which integrates job satisfaction as a mediating mechanism in explaining the nexus among ethical leadership, employee job performance, and turnover intention. The proposed model is tested by using the data collected from a sample (n = 196) of tourist companies in Pakistan. The results reveal that ethical leadership has a positive effect on employees' job satisfaction, job performance and negative effect on employees' turnover intentions. Further, job satisfaction mediates the effect of ethical leadership on employees' job performance and turnover intentions. The findings recommend that the demonstration of ethical leadership behaviours by managers at the workplace increases the likelihood of employees' job satisfaction and performance, while reducing their intention to leave the job. This study elucidates that, in Pakistani tourism sector, ethical leadership plays a key role in achieving performance goals. Future research could analyse the said nexus in different sectors and across different cultures while considering other measures of individual performance. The originality of this study is theorizing as well as empirically testing the intervening mechanism of job satisfaction in probing the linkages among ethical leadership, job performance, and turnover intention in Pakistani workplace context.

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.
