“…Although many studies suggest that ethical leadership has a positive impact on follower work outcomes, these studies also show that the strength of this relationship varies. For example, Kalshoven and Boon (2012) found an insignificant relationship between ethical leadership and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) (r = 0.02), whereas Sharif and Scandura (Sharif and Scandura 2013) found a significant positive relationship (r = 0.47). Similarly, Strobel et al (2010) found an insignificant relationship (r = 0.04) between ethical leadership and job stress, whereas Harvey et al (2013) found a significant negative relationship (r = -0.63).…”

A growing body of research suggests that follower perceptions of ethical leadership are associated with beneficial follower outcomes. However, some empirical researchers have found contradictory results. In this study, we use social learning and social exchange theories to test the relationship between ethical leadership and follower work outcomes. Our results suggest that ethical leadership is related positively to numerous follower outcomes such as perceptions of leader interactional fairness and follower ethical behavior. Furthermore, we explore how ethical leadership relates to and is different from other leadership styles such as transformational and transactional leadership. Results suggest that ethical leadership is positively associated with transformational leadership and the contingent reward dimension of transactional leadership. With respect to the moderators, our results show mixed evidence for publication bias. Finally, geographical locations of study samples moderated some of the relationships between ethical leadership and follower outcomes, and employee samples from public sector organizations showed stronger mean corrected correlations for ethical leadershipfollower outcome relationships.

“…When servant leaders modeled ethical behaviors, and were trusted by their employees, positive organizational outcomes outside of sport-related organizations, such as employee job satisfaction and organizational commitment, were found (Chan & Mak, 2014;Sharif & Scandura, 2013). Additionally, subordinates were more willing to articulate concerns or address conflict in their daily activities within an ethical environment (Burton & Welty Peachey, 2014).…”

“…Baumgartner (2009) also emphasizes the importance of leadership, arguing that, if aspects of sustainable development are not part of the mindset of leaders, then sustainability activities are more likely to fail. Employee ownership and the sustainable development objectives that are associated with it require ethical leadership (Brown and Trevino, 2006;Bouckenooghe et al, 2015;Sharif and Scandura, 2014;Pucic, 2015). Caldwell et al (2008) define ethical leadership as the carrying out of duties owed to employees, stakeholders and society in the pursuit of long-term wealth creation for both organization and community.…”

“…During the times of change, the employees' feelings of security and trust in their leader positively influenced their performance (Abrams, 2008;Oakeshott, 2000). The ethical leadership, which provided guidance and ensured transparency in the process, motivated the employees to work harder (Brown and Trevino, 2006;Sharif and Scandura, 2014). He has been successful in his role as a transformational leader (Bass, 1990) and encouraged employees to be more active in the management of the hotel (Caldwell et al, 2008).…”

Employee ownership systems influence both the economic and social contexts of organizations and have the potential to contribute to sustainable development. This paper examines the contributions of an employee-owned hotel to sustainable development in North Cyprus. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews with employees and managers and by analyzing the relevant documents. The employee ownership system was found to have a positive socio-economic impact on the development of sustainable tourism. The employee ownership system enabled the hotel to establish strong and long-term relations with the local community by generating new and stable local employment, fairly distributing business opportunities in their local community, improving the locals' quality of life and preserving an iconic built resource of the island. The factors that helped the new ownership system at the hotel to be successful in this case are identified as ethical leadership, people-centered human resource practices, autonomy, collaboration with the local community and customers, and political willpower.
