Fighthing corruption in a destructive leadership setting: the key is in ethical climate
| Resumo: | The present study is structured to investigate the condition for the existence of destructive leadership, focusing on the leader profile and behavior, as well as environmental proneness, interpreted into ethical climate. Another main objective is to understand how organizational liabilities, preceded by ethical climate vulnerabilities, are related to a higher vulnerability to the adoption of corruption behaviors. In order to test the relation between the variables, a survey was conducted among 126 individuals who are not working in a leadership position. A model has been proposed in which the relationship between destructive leadership and vulnerability to corruption is mediated by ethical climate. The results show that there is a higher level of vulnerability to corruption when exists an instrumental ethical climate, that can be prompted by an inadequate leadership, whether by, miscommunication, mismanagement, or abusive behavior. In other hand, vulnerability to corruption is diminished when independence ethical climate is inhibited by communication dimension of destructive leadership. |
