Literature Review: The Evolution of Ethical Leadership

Bernhard Bachmann

Chapter Chapter 3 in Ethical Leadership in Organizations, 2017, pp 27-63 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Regardless of whether the number of ethical failures of institutions is effectively rising or growing transparency levels are uncovering more of them, we are in the midst of a ‘leadership crisis’, despite having had an ‘obsession’ with leadership for decades, as Wray-Bliss (2013) states. Leadership’s legitimacy is questioned and trust in corporate governance ‘extremely’ low (Mihelic, Lipicnik, & Tekavcic, 2010). Leaders who act ethically seem to be a logical answer, leading to a growing focus on ‘ethical leadership’ (Northouse, 2013; Wray-Bliss, 2013; Yukl, 2013; Eisenbeiß, 2012; Kacmar, Bachrach, Harris, & Zivnuska, 2011; Mihelic et al., 2010; Brown & Treviño, 2006).
