Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the impact of ethical leadership on employees’ performance within the business organization. Corporate leaders are expected to lead by example in fostering ethical behaviors and actions among their team members. Many studies have been explored deeper into the efficacy of the top leaders on employees and their performance. Data captured from 30 articles indicated that ethical leadership has a positive effect on workers’ in-role job performance and all hypotheses were confirmed. These findings have significant implications for research and practice. Moreover, this research will focus on the effects of an ethical leadership approach on the performance of workers since ethical leadership is considered critical in enhancing the adopted business strategy in the achievement of organizational goals and objectives.
