Ethical Leadership, Workplace Stressors, Organizational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB), Healthcare Organizations, Employee Well-beingAbstract
.The healthcare sector is often characterized by high-pressure environments that can negatively impact employees' performance and well-being. This paper examines the moderating role of ethical leadership in mitigating workplace stressors and enhancing organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) among healthcare workers. Through a review of existing literature and analysis, we find that ethical leadership provides a supportive environment, fostering resilience and improving OCB despite workplace stressors.
