Ethical Leadership Role in Leading Organization: A Conceptual Review Paper

Ethics is crucial in many aspects of life in the modern value-based society. Businesses are not an exception to this rule. The public's trust in corporate organizations has been eroded by ethical scandals in the industry, which have called into question the role of ethics and leadership.Ethical leadership is a multifaceted concept encompassing moral decision-making, integrity, transparency, and the promotion of ethical behavior within an organization.The goal of this paper is to examine the literature on ethical leadership to build a successful organization's route and determine whether ethical leadership can help an organization become sustainable. What part does ethical leadership play in the development of organizations? was one of the main research questions that directed the investigation. The literature review suggests that there is still much to learn about ethical leadership, which presents both leaders and researchers with chances to become more effective. During the search procedure, four keyword groups from various databases were employed.The research findings prompted the creation of a conceptual model that resembles a stool with three legs, signifying the economic, environmental, and social components of a sustainable triple bottom line. The model uses a parallel rug (ethical leadership) to stabilize the stool and provide each leg equal attention in order to fulfill its objectives. The interrelated braces of organization culture, performance, and resources further support the three legs of the stool. The model's concepts were deliberated over and suggested areas for additional investigation.
