Ethical Leadership Annotated Bibliography

Abstract

The U.S. Army of tomorrow will require leaders to remain steadfast in their commitment to ethics. As warfare becomes increasingly complex, dynamic, and uncertain, Army leaders will continue to face ethically gray dilemmas. In support of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and Partner for Peace Nations research task group on factors affecting ethical leadership in the military (RTG 304), a review of the literature was conducted to address four general questions: (a) What is ethical leadership? (b) How is ethical leadership measured? (c) What are the antecedents of ethical leadership, i.e., who is likely to be an ethical leader and under what organizational and situational circumstances is ethical leadership most likely to arise? (d) What are the outcomes of ethical leadership? This resulted in a list of 20 seminal empirical studies, meta-analyses, narrative reviews, and theoretical papers that were examined in depth, resulting in annotations and a literature review synthesis. Three fruitful areas for future research are discussed.
