“…The argument regarding the positive and significant relationship between ethical leadership and organisational commitment is supported by what Brown and Treviño (2006) posited as the direct relationship of ethical leadership with followers' organisational commitment and by the empirical evidence that supports this relationship (Kim & Brymer, 2011;Neubert et al, 2009). Drawing from the above discussion we, then, hypothesise that:…”

Ethical leadership has been attracting attention of different kinds. While the concept is still in its infancy, contribution from all aspects of business and management is required to examine the cross-sectional, cross-cultural applicability to provide further insights. Attempts have been made to theoretically and empirically examine the relationship between ethical leadership and several outcomes (e.g. job satisfaction, organisational commitment), however, most of these studies have been conducted in western countries. This calls for further analysis of this particular leadership style to fill the existing gap and enrich the literature. Using 183 samples from middle managers/supervisors in the hotel industry in Malaysia, the present study found that ethical leadership is positively and significantly related to both job satisfaction and organisational commitment among these middle managers, which then resulted in negative turnover and positive organisational citizenship behaviors amongst them. While, contributing significantly to the current literature on ethical leadership in the hospitality industry, this research also provides support for the notion of constructive consequences of leaders becoming role models in their organisations by following ethical standards in their behaviors and decision-making process.

“…Ethical leadership and management is perceived to be the role model for establishing organizational ethical norms and therefore every decision taken by the management. Thus, the supervisors and managers being leaders and decision makers have to play a critical and active role in creating, inculcating moral values and nourishing ethical climate among employees Past empirical research has explored the ethical climate, ethical leadership behaviors, and their connections with antecedents and outcomes in hospitality industry (Kim & Brymer, 2011) and banking industry (Küçükbayrak, 2010). More recently (2015) conducted an empirical study among different professionals and managers to investigate the indirect effect of ethical leadership over turnover intention through ethical climate.…”

Leaders form an organization's ethical climate and influence employees' perceptions and intentions. Employees' intentions become positive when leader's personal ethics and ethical climate are congruent. The current study focused on the relationships among ethical leadership, distributive justice and ethical climate in the formation of employee's turnover intention. The purpose of the study is (1) to examine whether leader's ethics significantly impact over turnover intention, (2) to what extent distributive justice effects turnover intention, and (3) to determine the indirect impact of ethical leadership on turnover intention through ethical climate. The valid sample data was randomly collected through structured questionnaire distributed among 265 employees from 9 different banks located in Northern Punjab region of Pakistan. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used for data analysis using AMOS 22.0. Results revealed that distributive justice is significantly related to turnover intentions and ethical climate mediated between ethical leadership and turnover intention. This study contributes to the existing literature by considering both, distributive justice and ethical leadership in predicting turnover intention. When enacting policies and procedures, leaders should set ethical and justice tone that can be helpful to facilitate ethical behavior and also minimize turnover intentions among employee .

The purposes of the current study were to (a) examine the direct effects of ethical leadership on three employee work attitudes—affective organizational commitment (AC‐ORG), affective commitment to the supervisor (AC‐SUP), and job satisfaction and (b) explore the mediating roles of two types of interactional justice—interpersonal justice (IPJ) and informational justice (IFJ)—on the effects of ethical leadership and employee work attitudes. Data were collected from 862 participants and structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed for data analysis. The results indicated that ethical leadership had strong and direct effects on employee work attitudes. Moreover, the effects of ethical leadership on AC‐SUP and on job satisfaction were found to be partially mediated by IFJ, while IPJ was found to have no mediating role. These research findings demonstrate the importance of ethical leadership and IFJ to employees, leaders, and organizations. The research contributes substantial knowledge to the leadership field because it confirms the importance of ethics to leadership effectiveness.
