Abstract

Today's business world is facing challenges in ethics and moral practice. Though these issues are found among employers and employees of all levels, the leaders of an organization can work to address such issues through leadership styles that emphasize a meaningful employer-employee relationship and honest workplace behavior. The present article discusses the transformational, servant, and ethical leadership styles within the workplace and their effects on employees. Implementing such styles will not only lead to a decrease in unethical workplace behavior, but will also enable individuals to gain a stronger sense of self-identity and integrity. This results in stronger performance for the betterment of their teams, their leaders, and their companies. The potentially harmful effects found in organizational citizenship behavior are also discussed.
