Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between ethical leadership and commitment to behave ethically, a dimension of ethical culture largely understudied in government settings. It uses survey data collected from public servants in a U.S. state. The results from OLS regression analysis indicate that ethical leadership is positively and statistically related to commitment to behave ethically. The findings underscore the importance of ethical leadership and call for a number of actions to enhance public leaders’ competencies to foster the ethical environment of public sector organizations.
