Ethical Leadership and Organisational Discipline: A Case Study on a Telecommunication Organisation in Oman

Abstract

This study aims to explore the impact of ethical leadership dimensions (ethical role modelling, reward and punishment, and communicating about ethics and values) on organisational discipline in Omantel, a telecommunication organisation in Oman. Using random sampling, data was collected from employees working at Omantel, Dhofar Governorate. Additionally, a multiple regression analysis was used to investigate the impact of ethical leadership on organisational discipline. The study’s results showed that only two dimensions of ethical leadership, namely ethical role modelling and communicating about ethics and values, had an effect on organisational discipline, whereas reward and punishment had no significant effect on organisational discipline.
