“…In this sense, Sammy (2021) suggests that Ethical Leadership becomes a crucial behavior model in virtual work environments where employees are subject to low supervision and where autonomy is built through bonds of trust. Actually, relying emotionally on individual goodwill represents a qualitative leap of such magnitude, in an organizational relationship, that it encourages a series of shared efforts that usually translate into original and creative concepts.…”

Purpose:The main objective of this research is to determine if the number of days teleworked gradually influences the causal relationship between Ethical Leadership and Creativity among universityeducated employees together with the aspect of their interaction.Design/methodology: To decipher this question, a simple moderation scheme is chosen. The sample is 448 workers who are evaluated online.Findings: Ethical Leadership and Creativity are related in a convex way; that is, the ethical extremes, low or high, negatively, or positively influence creative performance, in that order. In addition, the intensity of Teleworking favors the integration between Ethical Leadership and original ideas; On the other hand, when remote work is reduced to one day a week, the relationship between Ethical Leadership and Creativity is neutralized. Finally, the self-perception of Creativity is lower in the female gender.Research limitations/implications: It is a cross-sectional study, but the results can be transferred to the entire Colombian energy industry since the sample was taken at different stages and obtained from various sources. Future research can delve into the e-ethics role of ethical leadership. Practical implications:The transition from conventional to electronic leadership needs to be influenced by strong ethical values to avoid leadership styles such as intrusive or abusive leadership that do not consider employee welfare as a priority. In addition, hybrid work alternatives that combine remote days with on-site days make it essential to consider that very low-intensity Teleworking substantially reduces individual Creativity. Social implications:The public energy industries in underdeveloped countries whose main mission is to serve the neediest social spheres cannot take their eyes off the common interest. When this happens, corruption proliferates, and inequalities widen.Originality/value: This research presents a theoretical model that extends the existing literature on Ethical Leadership. The benefits of this management style are widely known, but it is of vital interest to know its impact within a virtual work environment, and even more so when Teleworking becomes an ideal habitat to capitalize on its potential.

“…These studies indicate that leaders, who are supportive and ethical, significantly improve creativity among employees.

Purpose: Leaders encourage employee innovation for organizational effectiveness, but the perception of ethical leadership and factors like trust and organizational climate can influence this dynamic. This study assessed leadership trust and organizational climate as explanatory factors influencing the association between ethical leadership and creativity.Design: Responses were sought from 354 employees from a multinational organization in manufacturing in Ghana. The respondents completed questionnaires that measured ethical leadership, employee trust in leadership, organizational climate, and creativity.Findings: The findings using the PROCESS macro indicated a positive relationship between ethical leadership and creativity. The influence of ethical leadership on creativity was confirmed to be moderated by organizational climate and partially mediated by employees’ trust in leadership. The findings clearly highlight the eminence of leadership trust and organizational climate in explaining ethical leadership's impact on employees' creativity. Practical Implications: The study implies that organizations aiming to enhance creativity and effectiveness should promote ethical leadership while considering the influence of trust and the overall work environment. This study is the first of its kind to assess the underlying mechanisms of leadership trust and organizational climate in explaining the linkage between ethical leadership and employee creativity.
