Abstract

This study examines the relations among ethical leadership, affective and cognitive trust, job engagement, and employee’ Innovation. Four hundred thirty dam employees working in Pakistan were surveyed to collect data. Using PLS structural equation modeling, we have discovered a strong and statistically significant correlation between ethical leadership and employee Innovation. In addition, we have discovered findings of parallel mediation, where affective and cognitive trust and work engagement mediate the connection between ethical leadership and employee innovation. Our research revealed that ethical leadership has a significant impact on both affective and cognitive trust, as well as work engagement. These aspects subsequently motivate followers to demonstrate innovation in their jobs. The results of this study demonstrate that both affective and cognitive trust and work engagement are crucial factors that enable ethical leaders to improve their followers’ innovative behavior.
