The difference in ethical leadership styles between genders can partly be attributed to socialization processes. From a young age, boys and girls are encouraged to adopt certain behaviors that are socially accepted for their gender. Women are typically socialized to value relationships, which may lead them to adopt more transformational leadership styles, emphasizing collaboration and ethical considerations. Men, on the other hand, might be socialized towards more transactional styles, emphasizing structure and authority which could impact their ethical decision-making processes.
