| description | The purpose of this study is to develop a mediation model for understanding how ethical
leadership influences organizational cronyism via ethical culture. This study further
investigates the role of leader–member exchange in moderating the effects of ethical
culture on organizational cronyism. In contrast to previous research, which has examined
the direct effects of ethical leadership on ethical culture, our study examined the
underlying mediated and moderated mechanism. A representative sample of 306
employees was collected from organizations operating in private sector. Inferential
statistics was applied with the help of descriptive, correlation, moderated and mediated
regression analysis. Results confirmed all the direct hypothesis as well as the mediating
role of ethical culture was substantiated between ethical leadership and organizational
cronyism. LMX also moderated the inverse relationship between ethical culture and
organizational cronyism such that the relationship was stronger for employees enjoying
high leader member exchange relationship. Discussion and implications are presented
based on the results of the study. |
