Abstract

The topic of sustainability development has remained crucial where Malaysian government is trying its best to strengthen sustainability commitment to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs). The lack of emphasis on sustainability awareness from leaders hinders the effort of sustainability commitment to be ingrained in organisational culture. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the role of ethical leadership and organisational ethic culture play in promoting social sustainability, with the support of the social exchange theory adopted as the theoretical framework. The target population of this research encompasses employees working in Malaysia companies. A total of 202 data respondents were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and SmartPLS 4. The expected outcomes of this study are to prove that having ethical leadership is crucial for an organisations' ethical culture development and plays a significant role in promoting employees' well-being. The study found that job satisfaction effectively mediates the relationship between ethical leadership and employees' well-being.
