Transactional and Transformational Leadership: A New Approach to Ethical Leadership

Abstract

In recent decades, leadership ethics has received the attention of many researchers in the world and Vietnam. Researchers believe that the "Transactional and Transformational Leadership" model consisting of nine factors is consistent with ethical standards. However, this issue is still controversial. We ask the question of whether ethical leadership has truly been universalized with the nine-factor leadership model. To answer this question, we research documents and use methods of analysis, description, synthesis, and interpretation to find gaps and relationships and use expert methods to contribute to research. As a result of the research, we have discovered that there are three factors: "Freedom of operation", "Passive management" and "Active management" that still have deficiencies in ethical standards in leadership and we have improved them. recalibrate. This finding has provided important implications for theoretical research and knowledge for studying management practice.
