Abstract

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of ethical leadership on emotional exhaustion in the Colombian electricity sector through the moderating role of a principled ethical climate, with a simple moderation scheme. The research design was transversal with a non-experimental scope. The sample was calculated probabilistically by conglomerates. A total of 175 women and 273 men from six organizations in the Colombian electricity sector participated. According to the results, ethical leadership and a principled climate are negatively related to emotional exhaustion. However, when ethical leadership transits through a highly moral principled climate, this relationship changes its meaning. In conclusion, ethical leadership and a principled ethical climate attenuate follower emotional exhaustion as long as there is a balance between the personal and managerial aspects conveyed by the leader.
