However, the series of corporate scandals seems to be giving the impression that there is something lacking in the present corporation governance practices among the corporations, in particular, the public listed companies. Cases of unethical practices have continue to manifest in corporate organisations. Corporate leaders engage in decisions that have resulted to lack of trust in the organisations leadership, and lack of commitment to organisation’s goals. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the employee’s perspective on ethical leadership attributes that influence good governance practice in the organisation. Ethical leadership identifies as a critical vehicle in stimulating good governance practices. The quantitative approach was used to investigate the subject matter.
