Also, the degree of ethical behaviour practice and the degree of reinforcing ethical behaviour were medium. The study confirmed that the order of the ethical leadership dimensions were as follows: The availability of ethical behaviour ranked first followed by the dimension of reinforcing ethical behaviour in second place.
