The effects of ethical leadership on knowledge worker's justice perception and satisfaction

Abstract

Abstract: Previous study on ethical leadership emphasized the internal effects, but neglected their social effects. This study analyzed the influence of ethical leadership on knowledge worker's social justice perception and life well-being, and tested the mediating effects of organizational justice perception and job satisfaction. The data were collected from 310 knowledge workers. The results of hierarchical linear regression and SEM indicated that, ethical leadership had significant positive effects on both knowledge worker's social justice perception and life well-being. Organizational justice perception and job satisfaction would moderate the above relationship. Implications for future study were also discussed.

Key words: ethical leadership, knowledge workers, social justice perception, life well-being, organizational justice perception
