Abstract: While ethical leadership may have boundary-spanning effects on different stakeholders even beyond the organizational boundaries, the role of ethical sales leadership in promoting sales and service behavior outcomes has not been fully researched. Our research aims to unfold how and when sales managers’ ethical leadership evokes service-oriented organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) among salespersons in the tourism setting. Grounded on the dataset from managers and employees working in sales departments of tour companies in Vietnam, the results reveal the role of adaptive selling and service harmonious passion as dual mediation channels for the link between ethical sales leadership and service-oriented OCB. The findings further lend credence to the moderating role that service role identity plays for the impacts of ethical sales leadership on these two mediators.
