| Popis: | 98 Different ethical climates result in different organizational outcome. For example, Myint(2006) indicated that benevolent and principle ethical climates may enhance overall organizational commitment. Leaders' behaviors play the essential roles to influence and shape the ethical climates of organizations. The content and style of leadership and practical policies are influenced by the culture, while Chinese society is different from Western society in cultural values. In terms of the Chinese business organizational leadership: The clear and obvious character of top managers in Chinese business organizations also called paternalistic leadership (PL). Prior studies regarding the relationship between paternalistic leadership and ethical climate have focused on the discussion of their unidimensional constructs relationship. However, the existing literature lacks for discussions of the multidimensional constructs relationships between paternalistic leadership and ethical climate. Multidimensional constructs may be distinguished from unidimensional constructs, which refer to a single theoretical concept (Edwards, 2001), and multiple dimensions regarded as distinct but related concepts rather than a single overall concept. This study argues that different paternalistic leader behaviors may lead to different type of ethical climates. Thus, this study tries to explore the multidimensional relationships between paternalistic leadership (i.e., authoritarian leadership, benevolent leadership, and moral leadership) and ethical climate (i.e., egoistic climate, benevolence climate and principled climate). The results of this study clarifying our current knowledge of the influences of paternalistic leadership on ethical climate can be useful in guiding efforts intended to enhance the usefulness of organizational training programs and recruiting or promoting activities for subsequent leaders. |
