Introduction
Ethical leadership is an area of scholarship that considers how ethical values and standards inform leadership behavior, organizational decisions, and relationships between leaders and stakeholders. Research in this field may address integrity, fairness, transparency, accountability, and the responsibilities associated with exercising authority. Its interdisciplinary nature connects leadership studies with organizational behavior, management, governance, and applied ethics.[1]
