Abstract
This study investigated the effects of ethical leadership on employee performance in the public sector in
Uganda. A target population of 160 employees was surveyed. A structured questionnaire was selfadministered
to the employees to collect the data. Regression analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient
were used to explain the nature of the relationship between ethical leadership and employee performance
and the effects thereof. Results of the study reveal that employee performance is greatly influenced by
ethical leadership. These have both policy and managerial policy which is discussed here. This study is
limited by being cross-sectional in nature and considered only one sector in one country and therefore
cannot be generalized to other sectors and countries. Practical implication is that ethical leadership in public
sector needs to be promoted at a top level and leaders have to behave ethically. This is the first study of this
nature conducted in Uganda focusing on the effects of ethical leadership on employee performance.
