The article discusses the importance of ethical leadership in enhancing employee performance and commitment, particularly in a remote work context following the pandemic. Research involving salespeople examined how ethical leadership impacts feelings of commitment and overall well-being. Findings indicate that perceived ethical leadership fosters greater employee engagement, regardless of the increasing trend towards remote supervision. Key factors supporting ethical leadership in a remote environment include transparent communication, in-person interactions, integrity modeling, and clear ethical standards, addressing concerns about effective management in a predominantly virtual workspace.
More sales jobs are becoming remote, meaning managers and employees often interact through video calls, emails and messages rather than in person.
In-depth interviews with sales professionals who worked remotely highlighted four key factors that help reinforce ethical leadership in a remote setting: consistent and transparent communication, occasional in-person interactions, modeling integrity, and establishing clear ethical standards.
