Ethical leadership. An overview and future perspectives

Abstract

This special issue of the Journal of Personnel Psychology concerns a relatively new and empirically unexplored terrain of leadership, that is, ethical leadership. Contemporary organizations express a strong need for leaders who behave in an ethicalmanner and encourage employees to adopt this behavior in their daily work. It is surprising to see that, despite this urgent call, ethical transgressions are very much commonplace, as such emphasizing the need to increase our insight into the workings of ethical leadership. In this issue, we bring together research on the antecedents, processes, and consequences of ethical as well as unethical leadership and, to start off with, we describe the emerging field of ethical leadership and identify future directions in this introductory editorial.
