The study results indicate that ethical leadership, characterized by integrity, fairness, responsibility, and transparency, has a positive influence on organizational commitment, particularly affective and normative commitment. Additionally, ethical leadership has also been shown to improve organizational performance both directly and indirectly thru increased employe motivation, trust, and commitment. This finding confirms that the implementation of ethical leadership is a strategic factor in sustainably improving organizational commitment and performance.
