Abstract

Research on ethical leadership (EL) has burgeoned in recent years due to high-profile ethical scandals in some of the world’s largest organisations. A closer examination into the institutional influences remains limited. Mainstream research tends to view EL as static phenomenon that can be solved by applying a set of empirically best practices. The purpose of this study is to inquire into how EL is thought about and practiced by managerial leaders in MNCs subsidiaries and what the institutional factors are that influence these. Data was collected from Vietnamese managerial leaders working in MNC subsidiaries in the manufacturing sector. The findings indicate that when faced with a set of competing institutional logics, Vietnamese managers tend to activate their personal ethical reference system when making ethical decisions. Both the theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
