Abstract :
Ethical leadership as an important management approach has a significant impact on organizational trust. This type of leadership means adherence to moral principles and human values in the decision-making process and daily behaviors. By acting transparently and honestly, ethical leaders create an environment where employees feel more secure and confident. Research shows that ethical leadership can help strengthen interpersonal relationships and create a positive and supportive work environment. When employees witness ethical behavior from their leaders, they are more likely to trust the organization s decisions and find more motivation to cooperate and increase their performance. This trust not only improves employee morale, but also helps increase productivity and reduce disruptions in the organization. In addition, ethical leadership helps to improve the reputation of the organization. Organizations that have leaders with strong ethical values are usually recognized by society and customers as trustworthy and reliable brands. This can help to attract new talents and customers and thus lead to the sustainability and success of the organization. Finally, ethical leadership and organizational trust mutually influence each other. Creating an ethical organizational culture not only helps build trust among employees, but also creates a support system where employees feel valued and belong. This positive relationship can help establish a successful and stable organization.
