Abstract

A sense of purpose is generated when individuals perceive an authentic connection between their work and a broader transcendent life purpose beyond the self. Academics have shown significant positive effects of this driving force in life for employees and organizations, and thus the literature demands studies that analyze its antecedents, i.e., the potential factors that shape an individual's sense of purpose in life. Following an Aristotelian approach to virtue ethics in business, we analyze (1) whether ethical leadership enhances the technical and social effectiveness of supervisors, and (2) whether this moral asset of leaders enhances employee sense of purpose, either directly or by interacting with their technical and social effectiveness-related dimensions. Using data from 395 employees in the Iraqi insurance and health care industry, structural equation modeling analysis revealed that, as expected, the ethical dimension of supervisors can influence employees' sense of purpose, both directly and by improving their technical and social effectiveness as leaders. Our findings thus encourage managers to practice ethical leadership to become more effective in leadership and in encouraging employees to have a sense of purpose in what they do.

伦理领导对主管技术效能与社会效能的驱动:培养员工目标感的三重螺旋
当个人意识到他们的工作与超越自我的更广泛的超越生活目标之间存在真实的联系时,就会产生使命感。学者们已经表明,这种生活驱动力对员工和组织都有显著的积极影响,因此,文献要求研究分析其前因,即塑造个人生活目标感的潜在因素。遵循亚里士多德的商业道德伦理方法,我们分析(1)道德领导是否提高了主管的技术和社会有效性,以及(2)领导者的这种道德资产是否直接或通过与其技术和社会有效性相关的维度相互作用来提高员工的目的感。利用伊拉克保险和医疗保健行业395名雇员的数据,结构方程建模分析表明,正如预期的那样,主管的道德维度可以直接影响雇员的目标感,并通过提高他们作为领导者的技术和社会效率来影响他们的目标感。因此,我们的研究结果鼓励管理者实践道德领导,以提高领导效率,并鼓励员工在工作中有使命感。
