in scandals, corruption and disasters which are present in every

organizational commitment and then proceeds to use quantative analysis
through descriptives to examine the relationship between ethical leadership
and organizational commitment in small to medium industries in India.
Finding in the study indicate that ethical leaders in such organizations have
a positive effect on the employees which in turn boosts their performance,
satisfaction and morale. |
