An Analysis of the Effects of Ethical Leadership and Organizational Learning on Innovation in the Hospitality Industry

Abstract

During the last few decades, several researchers have established the positive effect of ethical leadership on organizational innovation. Still, there are very few research studies presenting a deeper understanding of the role of organizational learning in this relationship, which is the main objective of this research. For this purpose, two hypotheses were developed: the first predicts the positive relationships between ethical leadership and organizational innovation, and the second one is the moderating role of organizational learning in the effect of ethical leadership on organizational innovation. The respondents consisted of the staff members of the hospitality sector. The variables of the research scored high on the reliability tests. The results of the study supported all the hypotheses.
