Abstract

  • The purpose of this empirical study is to
    investigate the effect of paternalistic leadership (PL) on
    ethical climate and the moderating role of trust in leader.
    Convenience sampling is used as a sampling procedure and
    the data were obtained from 227 Turkish employees. The
    findings indicated that PL had some effect on ethical climate.
    Furthermore, partial support was found for the
    moderating effect of trust in leader on the relationship
    between PL and ethical climate. The results of the study
    showed the importance of PL on employees in following
    company rules and procedures and showing a sense of
    responsibility and care to customers, community, and
    others in the organization.
