摘要

Research on ethical leadership predominantly emphasizes value-based virtues and value-driven behaviors; however, these aspects have not yet be adequately integrated. This paper aims to construct dimensions that enable a comprehensive and integrated understanding of ethical leadership. Drawing inspiration from Confucianism, which advocated ethical leadership, we propose the ‘Five Constant Virtues’ (Wuchang) as a framework for developing dimensions of ethical leadership. The Five Constant Virtues encompass both value-based virtues, (benevolence [Ren], righteousness [Yi], wisdom [Zhi], and integrity [Xin]), and value-driven behavior (ritual [Li]). These five dimensions interact synergistically, collectively empowering leaders to act ethically in a contextually appropriate manner.
