The Impact Of Leadership Styles On Ethical Behaviour
Ethical behaviour is one of the dynamics of modern business life of which importance have been increasing. Many factors affect to make the employees behave ethically. Being one of these factors, leader's behaviour is a premise of ethical behaviour as it is of many organizational behaviors. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of transformational leadership and contingent reward leadership styles, two important leadership styles, on the employees' ethical behaviour. An empirical study was performed to investigate the effect of leadership styles on the employees' ethical behaviour and mediating role of Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) for this effect. It was seen that transformational leadership and contingent reward leadership styles affected leader-member exchange positively and meaningfully and leader-member exchange affected employees' ethical behaviour positively. According to the findings of hierarchical regression analysis of the effect of Transformational Leadership (TL) and Contingent reward leadership (CRL) on ethical behaviour (EB) that composed in Structural Equation Model, it was not found any meaningful effect of TL and CRL on EB. Also, it was seen that the relation between LMX and EB is unmeaningful while this relation was meaningful in SEM.
Selected Ethical Issues in Research and Publication: Perceptions of Health Education Faculty
A national random sample of 195 university health education faculty at graduate degree–granting programs completed a 31-item survey with regard to their perceptions of ethical issues in research and publishing. Most respondents were male (57%), tenured (75%), had graduate faculty status (92%), had presented original research at conferences (85%), and had published articles in health education journals (89%). Faculty members were requested to assess whether 21 scenarios dealing with ethical issues in research and publishing were ethical, unethical, questionable, or not an ethical issue. Of the scenarios, 3 were considered ethical and 7 unethical by the majority of respondents. The perceptions of how ethical the remaining 11 scenarios were varied considerably. Perceptions of the ethical scenarios did not differ among respondents by sex, academic rank, years taught as a faculty member, whether the department taught units/classes on research ethics, or whether the respondents were from doctoral-level versus master’s-level programs.
