Abstract
With increased commercial crimes, work ethic, and ethical leadership have gained popularity among management researchers, focusing on the creation of an ethical climate and transferring managers from moral persons to moral managers who have the ability to shape the pro-social behavior of followers. The current study investigated the moderating role of organizational virtuousness in ethical leadership and organizational citizenship behavior relationship of faculty members of universities/degree awarding institutes in the province of Punjab, Pakistan. Using a cross-sectional design, 385 randomly selected faculty members of universities completed a self-administered survey questionnaire. The findings of the study support our assumptions that ethical leadership creates a virtuous organizational culture and fosters organizational citizenship behavior. Further, the mediating role of organizational virtuousness in fostering organizational citizenship behavior due to ethical leadership was also proved in the higher education sector in the province of Punjab, Pakistan. We have also discussed the implications of the study as well as the directions for further research.
