| Abstract: | Senior executives are thought to provide the organization's ethical 'tone at the top'. The authors conducted an inductive interview-based study aimed at defining the perceived content domain of executive ethical leadership. The authors interviewed two types of key informants - corporate ethics officers and senior executives - about executive ethical leadership and then a contrasting category the authors labeled 'ethically neutral' leadership. Systematic analysis of the data identified multiple dimensions of ethical and ethically neutral leadership. The findings suggest that ethical leadership is more than traits such as integrity and more than values- based inspirational leadership. It includes an overlooked transactional component that involves using communi cation and the reward system to guide ethical behavior. |
