| Abstract | ||
| This study investigates the antecedents and consequences of Ethical Leadership (EL) using a study of the interaction between Transformational Leadership (TL), Leader Conscientiousness (LC), Employee Well-Being (EWB), and Ethical Leadership (EL) in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) labor market and organizations. Data were collected from a sample of 203 employees utilizing validated online surveys, sampling broad professionals across numerous industries to secure robust representation. The data were analyzed with SPSS for descriptive statistics, reliability, and correlation, and AMOS for confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis. Results indicate that Leader Conscientiousness (LC) is positively associated with transformational and Ethical Leadership (EL), which in turn fosters principled and inspiring leadership behavior. Both types of leadership significantly enhance Employee Well-being (EWB), with Transformational Leadership (TL) exerting a stronger influence. Ethical Leadership (EL) was found to mediate between Transformational Leadership (TL) and Employee Well-being (EWB), and between Leader Conscientiousness (LC) and Employee Well-being (EWB). The findings of these results highlight the overriding significance of conscientious, ethically driven leaders in promoting Employee Well-being (EWB) as well as in fostering a good organizational climate in an effort to attain Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals of cultivating integrity, transparency, and sustainable work environments. | ||
