Abstract: Using a sample of 102 managers from a large nationalized bank in India, the study looked at the effect of leader femininity and masculinity on transformational leadership and the relationship between all the three with leader ethical behavior. Results show that leader’s femininity is the stronger predictor of transformational leadership and masculinity explains additional variance in transformational leadership. Femininity, masculinity, and transformational leadership are positively related to leader’s ethical behaviors. The relationship between transformational leadership and ethics is stronger for those lower on femininity as compared to those higher on femininity. Leadership is the ability of an individual to influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute towards the effectiveness and success of the organizations of which they are members. A constant change that has become a part of life for many organizations highlights the increasing importance of transformational leadership. Superior performance or performance beyond normal expectations is possible only by transforming followers ’ values, attitudes ’ and motives from a lower to a higher plane of arousal and maturity (Bass, 1985). A number of authors have speculated the difference in feminine and masculine leadership styles. Increasingly, feminine leadership is seen to be more transformational. Ethical behaviors in organizations have also become an actively discussed topic that is seen as more and more important. This paper reports a study done to see the role of femininity and transformational leadership in enhancing ethical behaviors in organizations.
