Abstract

The study aimed to examine the effect of ethical leadership on the work ethics of the employees. To support the theory of the study, literature was reviewed. The study used a descriptive assessment and correlational research design. The population of the study were the employees of the two colleges in Region 1. It used questionnaires to gather the data. The study found that the ethical leadership of the administrators and the work ethics of the employees are high. However, the correlation test result suggests that there is no correlation between ethical leadership and the work ethics of the employees. It further asserts that ethical leadership is not necessarily a main predictor of to work ethics of the employees because the work ethics can be caused by other factors. Thus, the hypothesis of the study is rejected. It recommends that further study needs to be undertaken to identify other factors that influence the work ethics of the employees.
