摘要

This study examined the impact of ethical leadership on employee turnover intentions in Ghana’s public sector, using data from 384 employees. Structural equation modeling was used to explore direct and indirect relationships, with organizational commitment (affective, continuance, and normative) as mediators. Ethical leadership showed no significant direct effect on turnover intentions but significantly influenced all three commitment types. Affective and normative commitment mediated the relationship, while continuance did not. Findings suggest ethical leadership indirectly reduces turnover intentions by strengthening emotional and moral commitment. Enhancing ethical leadership can therefore improve organizational commitment and reduce employee turnover in public sector organizations.
