Resumo: The present study is structured to investigate the condition for the existence of destructive leadership, focusing on the leader profile and behavior, as well as environmental proneness, interpreted into ethical climate. Another main objective is to understand how organizational liabilities, preceded by ethical climate vulnerabilities, are related to a higher vulnerability to the adoption of corruption behaviors. In order to test the relation between the variables, a survey was conducted among 126 individuals who are not working in a leadership position. A model has been proposed in which the relationship between destructive leadership and vulnerability to corruption is mediated by ethical climate. The results show that there is a higher level of vulnerability to corruption when exists an instrumental ethical climate, that can be prompted by an inadequate leadership, whether by, miscommunication, mismanagement, or abusive behavior. In other hand, vulnerability to corruption is diminished when independence ethical climate is inhibited by communication dimension of destructive leadership.

Outro objetivo principal deste estudo é compreender como o clima ético está associado a uma maior vulnerabilidade para a adopção de comportamentos corruptos. De modo a testar a relação entre as variáveis, foi aplicado um questionário a 126 indivíduos que não exercessem um papel de chefia dentro da sua organização. Foi proposto um modelo no qual a relação entre liderança destrutiva e vulnerabilidade à corrupção é mediada pelo clima ético. Os resultados demonstram que existe um nível mais alto de vulnerabilidade à corrupção quando existe um clima ético instrumental, que pode ser provocado por uma liderança inadequada, quer por falhas de comunicação, falhas na gestão ou comportamentos abusivos. Por outro lado, a vulnerabilidade à corrupção é reduzida quando o clima ético de independência é inibido pela componente da comunicação da liderança destrutiva.2018-03-19T15:13:48Z2017-11-21T00:00:00Z2017-11-212017-09info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfapplication/octet-streamhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/15388TID:201769948engFarinha, Helena Nunesinfo: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:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:43:27Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/15388Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:20:26.499740Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
