Abstract
In recent years, research on leadership in Vietnam has received increasing attention from scholars and managers. This confirms the theoretical foundation regarding the role of leadership in shaping employee behavior. However, a review of domestic and international literature reveals limited research examining the direct effect of ethical leadership on employee creativity, particularly with respect to the mediating roles of work engagement and employee empowerment in a comprehensive manner. This study uses the partial least squares structural equation modeling method to examine the impact of ethical leadership on employee creativity. The study surveyed 308 employees in the transportation industry, and the results show that ethical leadership positively impacts employee creativity through the mediating mechanism of job engagement and employee empowerment.
