Both transformational and authentic leadership have been described as containing an ethical component (Kalshoven, Den Hartog, & De Hoogh, 2011), which also concurs with the notion of symmetrical communication (J. Grunig, 1992). While ethical leadership behavior has emerged as a separate positive leadership style, one that is frequently being placed on top of an organization’s priority list, the positive influence of ethical leadership on internal communication and employee outcomes in an organization must be speculated. However, such interplay effects have yet to be explored. The current research is therefore an extensive attempt to improve the understanding on the significance of leadership in internal communication by placing a particular emphasis on ethical leadership. Drawing from public relations, organizational communication, and management literature, this study tests the influences of a set of ethical leadership behaviors on symmetrical communication, perceived leader credibility, and employee engagement in an organization.
