The Interplay Between Ethical Work Climate and Employee Mental Health: A Critical Analysis.
In:
Advances in Ethical Work Climate and Employee Well-Being.
IGI Global, pp. 213-242
Abstract
The chapter examines how ethical work climates influence employee mental health, focusing on ethical leadership, psychological safety, and transparent policies. A systematic review of contemporary literature and sector-specific case studies highlights mechanisms linking ethical practices to improved mental health outcomes, reduced burnout, and enhanced well-being. The discussion includes a critical analysis of positive and negative organizational examples to illustrate how ethical climates are cultivated or compromised across industries. Practical strategies for implementing and sustaining ethical climates, including leadership training, ethical decision-making frameworks, and adaptive policy development, are presented. The implications for organizational outcomes, such as increased employee engagement, reduced turnover, and enhanced reputation, are also explored.
