| Abstract | The nature of ethical leadership is shown to exhibit deontological and utilitarianism characteristics, while the other supporting roles of being fair and trustful, and showing caring and being disciplined should also not be neglected. Leaders possessing of these characteristics are shown to lead to employees' organizational commitment. In this paper,two commitment attributes are revealed in factor analysis, namely the social contract and being beyond normative or obligations. The latter commitment characteristic shares the same theme with the literature of extra-role and corporate citizenship behaviors.The research also shows significantly positive relationships among ethical leadership of a nation, represented and inferred by available data in the corruption perceptions index and the national social responsibility index, and the dependent variables such as the global competitiveness index, the global innovation index, and national intellectual capital. Thus, ethical leadership effort should stimulate the commitment ofemployees at organizational level or the industry performance at the national level, through exhibiting both social contractual roles and extra-role behavior. |
