...According to Bandura (1986) virtually anything that can be learned via direct experience can also be learned by vicarious experience, via observing others’ behavior and its consequences. This process seems particularly important when the behavioral target is ethical conduct in organizations. Employees can learn what behavior is expected, rewarded, and punished via role modeling. Leaders are an important and likely source of such modeling Wrst by virtue of their assigned role, their status and success in the organization, and their power to aVect the behavior and outcomes of others. High standing in a “prestige hierarchy” and the ability to control rewards both contribute to modeling eVectiveness (Bandura, 1986, p. 207). And, previous research has demonstrated that models inXuence prosocial behavior (Bryan & Test, 1967; Rosenhan & White, 1967). A social learning perspective is consistent with some of the previous, but not yet integrated arguments about ethics and leadership. House (1977), Bass (1985), and Kouzes and Posner (1987) have all referred to role modeling as essential leader behavior....
