Recent cases of unethical behavior in organizations indicate the need to carry out empirical
research to determine the existence of a relationship between ethics and leadership,
demanded by society and prescribed by various academic theories. For this reason, through
the conduction of non-experimental, cross-sectional, quantitative research, it is sought to
make a process of falsification of the theoretical proposals that establish a relationship
between the ethical position and leadership styles in the context of a municipal mayoralty.
In the development of the research, the responses of 219 leaders were satisfactorily
received, answering questions from two psychometric instruments of wide recognition and
academic validity, the Ethics Position Questionnaire (Forsyth, 1980) and the Multifactor
Leadership Questionnaire (Bass & Avolio, 1993). They were carried out both through an
exploratory data analysis and a confirmatory factor analysis, and four models of structural
equations that tested the existence of a relation between the ethical position and the styles
of leadership; it was also possible to identify the influence exerted by the different ethical
positions in each one of the styles of leadership in a local public administration. These
findings facilitate the identification of ethical leadership models in local public
organizations, and contribute towards the empirical demonstration of the current
discussion on the relationship between ethics and leadership in organizations.
