Staying neutral in political conflicts involving ethical issues can lead to a lack of action or taking the easy way out, which is not a recommended behavior for ethical leadership. Instead, ethical leaders should take a stand on important ethical issues and demonstrate moral courage.

Question 6

Ethical behavior and integrity for a leader is most likely to result in:&#10;A)higher unit performance&#10;B)higher ratings for the leader by bosses&#10;C)less stress for the leader&#10;D)higher subordinate satisfaction and trust

Accepted Answer

Ethical behavior and integrity are likely to result in higher levels of subordinate satisfaction and trust, as they see their leader as trustworthy and dependable. This can lead to improved relationships between the leader and subordinates, which can result in better performance and outcomes for the unit overall. While higher ratings by bosses and less stress for the leader may be outcomes of ethical behavior, they are not as directly linked to improved organizational performance as higher subordinate satisfaction and trust.

Accepted Answer

Theories of ethical leadership emphasize values such as altruism, empathy, and optimism, but do not emphasize hedonism which is the pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain. Ethical leadership is about making decisions that benefit the greater good, rather than solely pursuing personal pleasure.

An internal locus of control orientation means that a person believes that they are in control of their own actions and outcomes, rather than attributing them to external factors such as luck or fate. This perspective usually leads to a strong sense of personal responsibility and accountability, which are important characteristics for ethical leadership. In contrast, personalized power orientation, low conscientiousness, and high narcissism are all traits that are associated with a greater likelihood of unethical behavior.

These leaders focus on broader goals and inspire followers to work towards a better future, rather than simply seeking personal gain.
