Gender Influences on the Adoption of Ethical Leadership

While it is tempting to generalize about gender differences in leadership, the evidence suggests a nuanced picture. Some studies point to slight differences in ethical decision-making between men and women, potentially affecting their leadership practices. Typically, women are thought to adopt a more care-oriented approach to ethics, while men may adopt a justice-oriented perspective. Despite these tendencies, effective ethical leadership is highly dependent on individual values, experiences, and organizational culture.
