According to social learning theory, role models facilitate the acquisition of moral and other types of behavior. Yet, the question remains whether having had ethical role models influences one’s perceptions of one’s ethical leadership and, if so, what kinds of role models are important. Even bigger questions remain does these role models change the thinking pattern on Ethical Standards of Judgment that is crucial in making them an ethical leader. We attempted to answer these questions by proposing a theoretical framework, drawing on Brown & Treviño (2014) conceptualization of role models and moral leadership nexus, by focusing on the several types of moral role models as antecedents of perceived ethical leadership, while making moral predispositions as mediating a factor. These predispositions are broadly based around two frameworks: consequentialism and formalism (the tendency to assess moral situations in terms of their consequences to people, or, in terms of their consistent conformity to patterns or rules or some other formal features) Love et. al. (2020). We proposed that these dispositions are shaped by the role models and are instrumental in making an ethical leader.
