Abstract

Ethical scandals, as well as unethical behaviour, are becoming major concerns in recent times. Thus, this study focused on the role of ethical climate and employees’ moral identity. Specifically, this study examined the mediation effect of ethical climate on the relationship between ethical leadership and employees’ ethical behaviour. Also, the study investigated the moderating role of employee moral identity on the relationship between ethical climate and employees’ ethical behaviour. Data were collected from 620 full-time employees working at thirty-three Iraqi organisations from five Iraqi provinces. These organisations were from various industry sectors such as manufacturing, retailing, medical, insurance, information technology, legal, finance, and telecommunication sectors. The study found that ethical leadership impacted on the ethical behaviour of employees and the ethical climate also significantly mediated the relationship between ethical leadership and employees’ ethical behaviour. The moderating role of moral identity on the relationship between ethical climate and ethical behaviour was found to be insignificant in this context.

道德领导和员工道德行为提前

近年来，道德丑闻和不道德行为正成为人们关注的主要问题。因此，本研究聚焦于道德氛围与员工道德认同的作用。具体而言，本研究考察了伦理氛围在伦理型领导与员工伦理行为之间的中介作用。此外，本研究还探讨了员工道德认同对道德氛围与员工道德行为之间关系的调节作用。数据收集自伊拉克5个省33个伊拉克组织的620名全职员工。这些组织来自各行各业，如制造业、零售业、医疗、保险、信息技术、法律、金融和电信部门。研究发现，道德型领导对员工的道德行为有显著影响，道德氛围在道德型领导与员工的道德行为之间也有显著的中介作用。在这种情况下，道德认同对道德气候和道德行为之间关系的调节作用被发现是微不足道的。
