Abstract: This study investigates the association between Ethical Leadership (EL), psychological safety (PS), and Voice Behavior (VB). Belongingness was the key mediator between these relationships. Data was collected through a survey of 374 employees working in banks and credit unions, and analysis was done through SPSS. Results showed that EL was positively associated with PS and VB and that the perception of belongingness mediated the relationship between EL and psychological safety. These results suggest that EL can help create a psychologically safe environment by encouraging employees to feel a sense of belonging. Implications for organizational psychology and management are discussed.
