Abstract: In today’s complex and dynamic business world, the significance of ethical leadership in shaping employee behavior and company culture has received a lot of attention. The study employed a quantitative design using questionnaires to gather data, and the statistical software (SPSS) version 16 was utilized for data analysis to examine the impact of ethical leadership on employee behavior. Purposive sampling was employed in a deliberate and random selection process to identify 50 people from various industries in Accra for the research population. Ethical leaders set an example for their employees by acting morally and upholding the company’s values. Employees who follow moral role models are more likely to do prosocial actions, such as helping colleagues, becoming good corporate citizens, and demonstrating loyalty to the organization. The study came to the conclusion that moral leadership has an effect on both business culture and employee behavior. Ethical leadership, defined by its dedication to moral principles, honesty, and principled judgment, has been demonstrated to be essential to the establishment and maintenance of a strong workplace culture. Leaders who uphold moral standards act as role models, affecting the attitudes and actions of those under them. Organizations were advised to keep emphasizing the need of holding staff members accountable for unethical actions. Organizations should strategically place and empower leaders to function as ethical role models in light of the projected effect that ethical leadership has on employee behavior. Programs for developing leaders should include a strong emphasis on the value of moral leadership conduct and how it influences workers’ behavior. By recognizing the significance of ethical leadership, organizations may actively cultivate a culture that is consistent with ethical standards. In the long run, this will improve worker conduct and help the company succeed as a whole. The structure for further study is given by this abstract.
