(A 50-word quick summary from my understanding)
Two leader personality traits - agreeableness and conscientiousness - are positively related to subordinates' ratings of leader's ethical behaviors, whereas third trait - neuroticism - was unrelated to these ratings. Ethical leadership influences follower's voice behaviors, partly mediated by follower's perceptions of psychological safety.Quick Notes/queries:
(For my further delving)
- How do personality traits <-> ethical leadership behavior relate in varied organizational, occupational and societal cultural context?
- How are other leadership styles (charismatic or transformational) <-> voice behavior related?
- How does Ethical leader behavior <-> LMX influence voice behavior?
- How is unethical leader behavior related to voice to organizations and voice to superiors?
