    ANALYSIS

    Scoring Key

    To score the measure, compute the sum of the 10 items. Scores will range
    from 10 to 70.

    Your score:

    Interpretation

    Ethical leaders demonstrate appropriate conduct through personal actions


    and interpersonal relationships, and they promote their conduct to their
    followers through communication, reinforcement, and decision making. This
    scale assesses the degree of ethical leadership you believe you possess.
    Although there are no cut-offs between being an ethical leader and an
    unethical leader, scores range from 10 to 70, and higher scores are preferred
    because they indicate higher levels of ethical leadership.

    With recent ethical scandals in business, ethical leadership has become an


    important topic. Research has revealed numerous benefits of being an ethical
    leader. Not only are ethical leaders trusted more by their followers, but also
    their followers are more satisfied, more willing to give extra effort to their jobs,
    and more open to reporting problems and issues to management compared
    to followers of unethical leaders. Why are there so many positive effects on
    followers? One reason is that ethical leaders are perceived as attractive and
    legitimate role models that followers try to emulate.

    If you scored low on this scale, the good news is that ethical leaders can be
    developed to some degree. Having an ethical leader as a mentor, behaving
    in a fair and considerate manner toward others, and being honest with others
    are all ways in which individuals can be perceived by others as more ethical.
