Background of the Study
Leadership ethics, which encompasses the moral principles and values that guide decision-making by leaders, plays a crucial role in shaping the behavior and attitudes of employees. In the telecommunications industry, where competition is fierce, employee commitment is essential for organizational success. Ethical leadership has been linked to higher levels of employee motivation, job satisfaction, and commitment, particularly in organizations such as MTN Nigeria, which is one of the largest telecom companies in the country.
In Bauchi State, where MTN operates, the role of leadership ethics in fostering employee commitment remains an under-explored area. Research suggests that ethical leadership improves the trust employees have in their leaders, enhances organizational culture, and reduces turnover (Afolabi & Kalu, 2022). This study aims to assess the impact of leadership ethics on employee commitment in MTN Nigeria’s operations in Bauchi State, providing insights into how ethical leadership practices can influence employee behavior and contribute to organizational success.
Statement of the Problem
Employee commitment is a critical factor for success in the telecommunications sector, especially in a competitive market such as Nigeria. However, there is a gap in understanding the specific impact of leadership ethics on employee commitment in MTN Nigeria, particularly in Bauchi State. The study seeks to fill this gap by examining how the ethical conduct of leaders within the organization influences employee loyalty, engagement, and overall commitment to the company.
