Chapter Chapter 4 in Ethical Leadership in Organizations, 2017, pp 65-92 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This study is seeking a research design which leads to a more holistic synopsis of how individual leaders, leadership culture, and the operational context interact. This is not trivial, as business ethics, here in the form of ethical leadership and moral cognition, are subject to interpretation and cultural influence. Ethical thinking is already an interpretation, and as such subject to the philosophical and moral background of both the researcher and the research subject. This background is based on an individual philosophical stance, and shaped by social conditioning and experience; as a result, multiple interpretations and truths are to be expected.
