Abstract: Abstract The major aim of this chapter is to explain the importance of ethics/morality and its relationship between servant leadership. The outline of the chapter will be formed of three parts. In the first part, ethics and morality will be defined. Each concept will be defined, and the difference between these two terms will be highlighted. Throughout the literature, there are many empirical studies about the factors affecting individual’s moral development. It is planned to add a section on moral development which will include Kohlberg’s and Piaget’s theories of moral development. This part will also include ethical making decision models and factors affecting ethical behavior. Since leaders are the tone of ethical behavior in the corporations and they are responsible for performing and implementing ethical behavior, ethical decision-making models which impact the leaders’ decisions and behaviors will be highlighted. Following the first part, servant leadership will be defined. Leadership theories will be explained, and in addition to this, servant leadership will be explained in details. Subsequently, there will be a third part analyzing the impact of ethics/morality on servant leadership. This part would focus on the relationship between servant leadership and ethics/morality. Throughout the development of the chapter, each concept regarding the subject will be stated under different headings. The sections will be formed based on literature review and empirical evidences by using academic English. As a result, it is expected that the chapter will be useful for both academicians and businessmen.
