Abstract: This paper recognizes the gaps in previous studies and provides insight into the significance of leadership guided by ethical principles in influencing employee engagement through the mediating role of perceived organizational support (POS). Thus, this paper aims to examine the impact of ethical leadership on employee engagement and to determine whether perceived organizational support (POS) mediates the relationships between both constructs. This study used a quantitative research method and collected data from 328 employees in the Information and Communication Technology telecommunications sector in Palestine. The hypotheses underwent examination through the application of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that 328 people responded to the current study's questionnaire. Ethical leadership the dependent variable was strongly impacted by perceived organizational support (EL POS) at the significant level of 0.01 (β = .697, µ =.0.669, SD=0.035, t=20.104, P=0.000 and f^2= 78% respectively. All of the study's variables had some effect on the dependent variable and employee engagement. Similarly, the remaining hypotheses are verified. When the R-squared adjusted values of the independent variables for the variance of employee engagement were more than 53 percent, the R-squared multiple correlations (R2) for the dependent variables indicated that the model appropriately matched the data.
