Leadership, Values & Ethics
Write a literature review analyzing the relationship between leadership, personal values, and
ethics in an organizational context. Based on your research, formulate at least one hypothesis
about the relationship.
For example, you might select a particular leadership style (such as transformational leadership
or servant leadership) and a concept related to values or ethics (such as corporate social
responsibility or environmental sustainability). The literature review should discuss these
concepts as well as any antecedents or outcomes of the relationship between them. The
research might also reveal another variable which may mediate or moderate the relationship
between these constructs. Formulate at least one hypothesis based on the literature review.
Following APA, the assignment should consist of in-text citations and a reference list, which reflect
the research supporting the analysis. All of the sources mentioned in-text should be on the
reference list. There should be no sources on the reference list, which have not been mentioned
in-text.
Following APA, format the assignment using MSWord, 1” margins, double-spaced, Times New Roman,
12 font. It should reflect impeccable grammar, spelling, style, logic, and critical thinking. There
is no minimum or maximum length.
Your literature review should be prepared and presented in assignment format following APA; it

· A cover page and abstract

· problem or topic the assignment will explore
