“…If a leader displays behaviors signaling dependability, self-discipline, responsibility, and high standards, the group is likely to develop norms consistent with these characteristics (Greco, Whitson, O'Boyle, Wang, & Kim, 2019). Ethical leaders, through their behavior (and in particular, their display of self-discipline, responsibility, and reliability), convey cues that signal high levels of conscientiousness, which the group will internalize (Kaptein, 2019). Reciprocity is also likely to explain why ethical leadership will foster higher group-level conscientiousness.…”

The style of leadership followed by the organizations tends to be its key to success and failure. Good and effective leaders tend to have a positive impact on the overall environment of the workplace and teamwork. However, bad leadership not only affect the workplace environment but also results in poor performances of employees, their well-being and increases absenteeism and reduces employee voice and freedom to speak. Leadership is a contested term with multiple meanings and diverse practical applications. A leader is specifically that person of the organization who directs, motivates and influences others to enhance the performances (Ojokuku, Odetayo, and Sajuyigbe, 2012; Western, 2019). A leader is responsible for inspiring its subordinates towards effective performances in order to attain goals and corporate objectives (Mo, Ling, & Xie, 2017). Leadership is said to be that process of the organization, which aims to influence others for strong commitment towards the organization by realizing their potential in order to add value within organizational productivity, share their vision, integrity, and passion (Jeremy, Melinde & Ciller, 2012). Leaders are known for their moral responsibilities, authorities, and activities. Their status is associated with such attributes that represent goodness and virtue, and their specific ability to encourage followers to perform good deeds (Fehr, Yam and Dang 2015). The ethical Ethical leadership continues to receive considerable attention due to its influence on various job outcomes, therefore this study was conducted to examine the effect of ethical leadership on job outcomes (employee wellbeing and worker's voice) and to demonstrate that how good faith direct the relationship between ethical leadership and job outcomes. This study was conducted in the Non-Government organizations in Peshawar. Information was gathered from 180 workers working in 6 diverse NGO's in Peshawar. Information was gathered through an organized questionnaire and convenience sampling technique was used. The results of this study showed that ethical leadership was positively related to employee well-being and employee voice. The findings of the study show that there is a strong relationship between ethical leadership, employee voice, employee well-being. The main contribution of this study was to find the significant moderating effect of conscientiousness on both dependent variables. The future implication shows that organizations can identify those aspects through which employee work outcome can be improved. The use of ethical leadership strategies can allow managers to build a positive attitude in employees which results in employee well-being.

This study analysed and showed that how the Top Managements’ Ethical Leadership Influences Organization Citizenship Behaviour (OCB). We proposed that Ethical leadership affects OCB by promoting ethical climate and trust in an Organization. Thus, such factors gives a rise to Procedural Justice Climate and Distributive Justice, which resulted in OCB. This theoretical framework was empirically tested by gathering data of 210 employees who are working in different sectors in Pakistan by means of close ended Likert scale type questionnaires. Numerous statistical techniques for instance descriptive statistics, (CFA) confirmatory factor analysis and (SEM) structural equation modelling were used to analyse the results. As proposed in our theory, the results indicates a positive impact of Top Management Ethical Leadership on Ethical Climate and Trust in an Organization. Moreover, the result also indicates a significant positive impact of trust on both Procedural Justice Climate & Distributive Justice. Furthermore, both of these completely intercedes the consequences of top management ethical leadership on organizational citizenship behaviour. From a different viewpoint, the impact of ethical climate on Procedural Justice Climate is significantly positive, however; the relationship between ethical climate and Distributive Justice was found to be insignificant. Hence, this investigation provides a credible theoretical description as well as observed support of a contrivance through which ethical leadership of top management boosts Organizational Citizenship Behaviour. Therefore, managers in organization can rise Firm level OCB by enhancing the overall environment of the corporation and participatory factors in an ethical manner.
