ABSTRACT

Differences in leadership styles influence employees' behavioural choices, and employees' attitudes towards the organization influence the development of the organization. This paper explores the mechanism between ethical leadership and employee silence , and introduces two variables, organizational identification and power distance orientation, organizational identification as mediating variables between ethical leadership and employee silence, and power distance orientation as moderating variables between ethical leadership and employee silence .The results show that ethical leadership positively influences employees' organizational identification and negatively influences employee silence .Compared with high power distance orientation, employees with low power distance orientation can effectively reduce employee silence. Thus, the mechanism clarified the connection between ethical leadership and employee silence. In this way, this paper provides some insight into the subsequent management practice of the company.
