Resumo: The study focused on the influence of ethical leadership on the moral disengagement of workers, mediated by the ethical climate (care and instrumental). Additionally, we used tenure with supervisor as a moderator in this relationship. The conceptual model corresponds to a moderated mediation which previewed that ethical leadership lowers the level of moral disengagement of workers. With an online questionnaire, we collected a valid sample of 358 participants. The main findings were significant when facing an instrumental ethical climate, where there are a total mediation and an effect of the moderator (tenure with supervisor). However, care ethical climate hypotheses were not supported, showing neither mediation nor a moderation effect. This research provided relevant information to organizations as it suggests that the indirect effect is moderated after 3 years and the direct effect after 16 years of contact with the leader. It is additionally interesting that future research targets the caring ethical climate issue.

Ainda, se utilizou a antiguidade com a chefia como moderador da relação. O modelo conceptual desenvolvido resultou numa mediação moderada em que se previa que a liderança ética diminuísse o nível de desvinculação moral dos colaboradores. Através de questionários online recolheu-se uma amostra de 358 participantes. Os principais resultados mostraram-se significativos na presença de um clima ético instrumental, onde ocorre uma mediação total e o efeito da moderadora antiguidade com a chefia. No entanto, ao destacar o clima ético de cuidar os resultados não foram corroborados, não existindo mediação nem o efeito da moderadora. Este estudo forneceu informações bastante pertinentes para as organizações, na medida em que, num clima ético instrumental, prevê-se que o mesmo comece a influenciar a partir dos 3 anos de relação e o líder após 16 anos de contacto. Ainda, torna-se interessante que estudos futuros procurem abordar a questão do clima ético de cuidar.2022-11-03T00:00:00Z2019-11-04T00:00:00Z2019-11-042019-09info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/19046TID:202313476engAbreu, Francisca Gonçalves de Sá Rasquilha deinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:56:44Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/19046Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:29:08.273269Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
