  • Esguerra Perez, Gustavo Adolfo (PI)

Project: Research Project

Project Details

Description

The objectives of this research are aimed at identifying the effect that ethical leadership exerts on corporate social responsibility and at examining whether the ethical climate and work ethic of employees play a mediating role in the relationship between these variables.

The study is explanatory-predictive in nature and has a non-experimental cross-sectional design, with a non-probabilistic sample of workers from companies in different production sectors.

Participants will respond to standardized instruments adapted to the population, which will allow them to evaluate their perceptions of each of the variables studied.

The data analysis will be carried out with descriptive, correlational and multivariate statistical techniques, including structural equation models in order to verify causal sequences between the observed variables and establish the probable mediation effect of the ethical climate and work ethic variables in the relationship between ethical leadership and corporate social responsibility.

The main expected result is the validation of the proposed conceptual model.

The findings of the study are expected to contribute to the understanding of the relationships and individual, relational and contextual ethical determinants involved in the development of corporate social responsibility.
