This study indicates the theoretical perspective and examines the relevant literature that supports the significance of leadership style and professional ethics among employees.

This study is conducted in a manufacturing company and data were collected from 200 employees working in the cement factory. Firstly, the study revealed the type of leadership in this factory and then examined the relation between the leadership style and ethical behavior. To test the hypothesis structural equations modeling was used. The results showed that simultaneous high relations-oriented and high task-oriented leadership styles (i.e. supportive behavior) have significant effect positively on professional ethics among employees.
