Tóm tắt:
Nghiên cứu này xem xét tác động của các nhân tố đạo đức lãnh đạo đến hiệu quả công việc của nhân viên tại các doanh nghiệp trên địa bàn Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh (TP. HCM), đặc biệt trong bối cảnh nền kinh tế vừa trải qua đại dịch Covid-19 và đang trên đà phục hồi. Trên cơ sở phân tích và tổng hợp cơ sở lý luận về đạo đức lãnh đạo, nghiên cứu đề xuất mô hình gồm năm nhân tố cấu thành và đánh giá mối quan hệ của chúng với hiệu quả công việc. Nghiên cứu định lượng được thực hiện với 210 phản hồi của nhân viên làm việc tại khối văn phòng của các doanh nghiệp trên địa bàn TP. HCM. Dữ liệu được phân tích bằng kiểm định độ tin cậy Cronbach’s Alpha thông qua phần mềm SPSS 20.0; mô hình PLS-SEM và các chỉ số AVE, HTMT, VIF bằng phần mềm SmartPLS 4.0. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy sự tôn trọng, tính chính trực và sự công bằng có tác động đến hiệu quả công việc của nhân viên. Trong khi đó, nguyên tắc phục vụ và xây dựng cộng đồng chưa có ý nghĩa thống kê. Nghiên cứu này cũng đề xuất các nhà lãnh đạo cần tập trung vào xây dựng môi trường làm việc tích cực, tính chính trực và sự công bằng trong quá trình lãnh đạo.

The Impact of Leadership Ethics on Employee Performance in Enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City
Abstract:
This study examines the impact of ethical leadership factors on employee performance within enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City, particularly in the context of post-COVID-19 economic recovery. Drawing from established theoretical foundations, the study proposes a conceptual model encompassing five dimensions of ethical leadership and their relationship with employee job performance. Quantitative data were collected from 210 office employees across various enterprises in the city. The analysis was conducted using SPSS 20.0 for Cronbach’s Alpha reliability testing, and SmartPLS 4.0 for PLS-SEM, along with AVE, HTMT, and VIF assessments. The findings indicate that respect for others, integrity, and justice have a statistically significant positive effect on employee performance. In contrast, the dimensions of serving others and building community did not show a significant impact. Based on these results, the study recommends that leaders prioritize cultivating a workplace grounded in respect, integrity, and fairness to enhance employee performance and organizational effectiveness.
