This paper explores the influence of organizational ethical climate (OEC) and ethical
leadership (EL) on unethical conduct (UEC) or organizational citizenship behavior
(OCB) in workplaces that utilize remote work. Multiple regression analysis and
structural equation modeling were used in the analysis. Results revealed the following
findings:(1) the climate of self-interest encourages UEC and reduces OCB, while the
climate of personal morality reduces UEC. However, it was found that (2) as remote
work increased, the effective function of OEC declined. Conversely, (3) the effective
functioning of EL was observed in its ability to reduce UEC and encourage OCB. In
summary, the primary finding of this study is that EL serves as a mediator between
OEC and UEC or OCB, playing a crucial role in enhancing business ethics in a
workplace that leverages remote work. The limitations of this study are discussed along
with proposed suggestions for future research.
