Ethical leadership plays an important role in improving the organizational climate and may be have an effect on citizenship behavior. Despite the growing emphasis on ethics in organizations, little attention to has been given this issue. The purpose of this study was to identify ethical leadership, an ethical climate, and their relationship with organizational citizenship behavior from nurses’ perspective. In this descriptive correlational study, 250 nurses in twelve teaching hospitals in Tehran were selected by multistage sampling during 2016–2017. The data were collected using Ethical Leadership Questionnaire, Hospital Ethical Climate Survey, and Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale. The findings showed a significant correlation between ethical leadership in managers, organizational citizenship behavior (P = 0.04, r = 0.09) and an ethical climate (P < 0.001, r = 0.65). There was a significant correlation between an ethical climate and nurses’ organizational citizenship behavior (P < 0.001, r = 0.61). The regression analysis showed that ethical leadership and an ethical climate is a predictor of organizational citizenship behavior and confirms the relationship between the variables. Applying an ethical leadership style and creating the necessary conditions for a proper ethical climate in hospitals lead to increased organizational citizenship behavior by staff. To achieve organizational goals, nurse managers can use these concepts to enhance nurses’ satisfaction and improve their performance.

从护士的角度看伦理领导、伦理氛围和组织公民行为之间的关联：一项描述性相关研究

道德领导在改善组织氛围方面发挥着重要作用，并可能对公民行为产生影响。尽管组织越来越重视道德规范，但很少有人关注这个问题。本研究的目的是从护士的角度确定道德领导、道德氛围及其与组织公民行为的关系。在这项描述性相关研究中，德黑兰 12 家教学医院的 250 名护士在 2016-2017 年期间通过多阶段抽样选出。这些数据是使用道德领导问卷、医院道德气候调查和组织公民行为量表收集的。研究结果表明，管理者的道德领导与组织公民行为之间存在显着相关性（P = 0.04，r = 0. 09) 和道德氛围 (P < 0.001, r = 0.65)。伦理氛围与护士的组织公民行为之间存在显着相关性（P < 0.001，r = 0.61）。回归分析表明，道德领导和道德氛围是组织公民行为的预测因子，并证实了变量之间的关系。应用道德领导风格并为医院适当的道德氛围创造必要条件会导致员工的组织公民行为增加。为了实现组织目标，护士管理者可以使用这些概念来提高护士的满意度并提高他们的绩效。回归分析表明，道德领导和道德氛围是组织公民行为的预测因子，并证实了变量之间的关系。应用道德领导风格并为医院适当的道德氛围创造必要条件会导致员工的组织公民行为增加。为了实现组织目标，护士管理者可以使用这些概念来提高护士的满意度并提高他们的绩效。回归分析表明，道德领导和道德氛围是组织公民行为的预测因子，并证实了变量之间的关系。应用道德领导风格并为医院适当的道德氛围创造必要条件会导致员工的组织公民行为增加。为了实现组织目标，护士管理者可以使用这些概念来提高护士的满意度并提高他们的绩效。应用道德领导风格并为医院适当的道德氛围创造必要条件会导致员工的组织公民行为增加。为了实现组织目标，护士管理者可以使用这些概念来提高护士的满意度并提高他们的绩效。应用道德领导风格并为医院适当的道德氛围创造必要条件会导致员工的组织公民行为增加。为了实现组织目标，护士管理者可以使用这些概念来提高护士的满意度并提高他们的绩效。
