Abstract:

The study aims to extend knowledge of how ethical leadership can influence organizational commitment within an organization, examining the function of mediation of perceived job security among academic and administrative employees at Yarmouk University, Jordan.  And thereby contribute and application of the social exchange theory. A quantitative approach was adopted, using a survey questionnaire distributed from 335 respondents at Yarmouk University employees. The Partial Least Squares Structured Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method was utilized to analyze the gathered data and investigate the proposed structural relationships. The suggested model and hypotheses are strongly supported by the empirical findings. In particular, the study backs up the important role that moral leadership plays in fostering organizational commitment. The current study’s findings show that perceived job security and moral leadership are important indicators of organizational commitment. They help to mitigate the harmful consequences of a lack of commitment among university staff and professors. While emphasizing the need for additional research, particularly in public and private universities, by empirically proving that job security plays a significant role in how ethical leadership boosts organizational commitment in the study community, the research presented here significantly advances our understanding of human resource management and business conduct.
