Ethical leadership has emerged as a crucial topic for understanding the effectiveness of team leadership. However, empirical evidence regarding the role of ethical leadership in cultivating team processes and proactive team outcomes is scarce. Employing the integrated social identity and the uncertainty management theories, this study tested a moderated-mediation model in which environmental dynamism was expected to increase the indirect effect of ethical leadership on team initiative through team identification. To test the proposed hypotheses, the study drew cross-sectional data from 68 team leaders and 254 of their respective team members demonstrated strong support for the moderated mediation model. The conditional indirect effect of ethical leadership on team initiative via team identification was stronger in team contexts characterized by highly dynamic work environments. The findings of this study contribute to the emerging literature on ethical team leadership and have implications for organizations that are seeking to strengthen team initiative under highly dynamic work environments.

道德领导在培养团队主动性中的作用：分析团队认同和环境活力的影响

道德领导已成为了解团队领导有效性的关键主题。然而，关于道德领导在培养团队过程和积极的团队成果方面的作用的经验证据很少。本研究采用整合的社会认同和不确定性管理理论，测试了一个适度的中介模型，其中环境活力有望通过团队认同来增加道德领导对团队主动性的间接影响。为了检验提出的假设，该研究从 68 位团队领导者那里提取了横断面数据，他们各自的团队成员中有 254 人表示强烈支持调解调解模型。在以高度动态的工作环境为特征的团队环境中，道德领导通过团队认同对团队主动性的条件间接影响更强。这项研究的结果有助于关于道德团队领导的新兴文献，并对寻求在高度动态的工作环境下加强团队主动性的组织产生影响。
