Purpose: This study aims to investigate the impact of perceived ethical leadership on employee turnover, considering the moderating role of Perceived organizational inertia and the mediating role of benevolent rule-breaking in government organizations.
Methodology: This descriptive-survey research was conducted on 291 employees of a government organization in Tabriz, selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS and AMOS software. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to test the hypotheses.
Findings: The results indicated that Perceived ethical leadership has a significant negative impact on employee turnover. Furthermore, benevolent rule-breaking plays a mediating role in this relationship, while perceived organizational inertia moderates the effect of Perceived ethical leadership on employee turnover.
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence on the complex relationships between perceived ethical leadership, employee turnover, perceived organizational inertia, and benevolent rule-breaking in the context of government organizations. The findings offer valuable insights for managers seeking to reduce employee turnover and foster a positive organizational climate.
Recommendations: Government organizations are encouraged to promote perceived ethical leadership practices, manage perceived organizational inertia effectively, and create a supportive environment that encourages benevolent rule-breaking. These strategies can help to improve employee retention and enhance organizational performance.
Keywords: Perceived Ethical Leadership, Employee Turnover, Perceived Organizational Inertia, Benevolent Rule-Breaking, Government Organizations.
