“…An organization's efficiency and smooth management depend on the credibility and role of a leader (Ganguli & Krishnan, 2005;Ramachandran & Krishnan, 2009). Leadership is often associated with leaders who have authorities and use several styles in influencing and encouraging their followers to accomplish organizational goals (Alotaibi, Yusoff, Al-swidi, Al-Matari & Asharqi, 2015;Manaf & Latif, 2014).…”

According to recent literature that relates to organizational leadership, transformational leadership consists of three important elements: idealized influence, individual consideration, and intellectual stimulation. Extant studies in this area highlighted that the ability of the leaders in implementing these transformational processes (to execute organizational functions) may have a significant impact on individual outcome especially organizational commitment. Although this relationship has been studied, the mediating role of psychological empowerment has taken a less prominent part in organizational leadership model. The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of psychological empowerment in the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment. A survey method was employed to gather data from employees who worked at a foreign manufacturing company in free trade zone, Malaysia. Results of SmartPLS path model analysis confirm that psychological empowerment does act as an important mediating variable in the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment in the studied organizations. In the succeeding sections, discussion, implications and conclusion are elaborated.

PurposeIf females are more ethical than males, as the literature on the subject generally suggests, engaging and encouraging females in their careers would certainly promote an ethical environment. The present paper is motivated by such a viewpoint and aims to investigate gender‐based differences in the ethical disposition and the underlying dimensions in ethical decision‐making processes, by specific examination of business students.Design/methodology/approachThe main research instrument is a quantitative questionnaire through which the responses of 162 business students (45 females and 117 males) are examined. For data analysis univariate analysis by invoking one‐way analysis of variance and multivariate approach using cluster analysis are conducted to investigate gender‐based differences in the ethical disposition. To determine the underlying dimensions in ethical decision‐making processes, for female and male business students, the principal axis approach to factor analysis has been used.FindingsThe findings provide evidence that female business students are more ethically predisposed than their male counterparts. It is further observed that males exhibit less diversity in ethical decision making while females more readily invoked different ethical dimensions for different business scenarios.Originality/valueThe paper offers valuable insight into the role of gender in ethics in the context of Indian business. The fact that females appear to demonstrate greater sensitivity on ethical issues suggests that practitioners may want to use this knowledge for developing their organizational strategies, ethical codes, and evaluation systems. Further, the study also highlights the importance of realigning the curriculum in a manner that the teaching of ethics becomes an integral part of business school education.
