Abstract

This research study has examined ethical leadership on creative performance and intention to be late at work. The research also investigated the mediating role of trust in an organization (TIO) between ethical leadership and the proposed outcomes. To support the above assertion, this research collected information from 304 frontline bank employees and their managers in Kabul Afghanistan and tested the mentioned relationships. The findings support TIO as a mediator for ethical leadership and intention to be late at work. Trust an organization increases creative performance and can significantly reduce ILW in the private banks of Afghanistan. According to the data, ethical leadership reduces ILW and increases creative performance (creativity) exclusively through TIO. This research further discusses the implications for both theory and practice.
Keywords: Ethical leadership, creative performance, frontline bank employees, intention to be late for work, trust in an organization.
