Abstract
This study investigated the effects of transformational leadership and organizational ethical climate on workplace deviance in non-profit organizations. Managers, coordinators, community facilitators and social organizers were selected by convenience sampling and data were collected using self-administered questionnaires. A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed of which 324 were usable. Results of this study show a positive relationship between transformational leadership and organizational ethical climate, and a negative association between transformational leadership and workplace deviance. The result of this study also indicated a negative association between organizational ethical climate and workplace deviance. Results further revealed that organizational ethical climate mediates the relationship between transformational leadership behavior and workplace deviance. Thus, to reduce the emergence of workplace deviance, organizational decision makers should seek to select, train and retain authentic transformational leaders, specifically those who have the ability to promote the establishment of ethical organizational climate. Lastly, this is the first study to examine the interrelationship between transformational leadership, ethical climate, and workplace deviance, specifically in the non-profit organizations of Pakistan.
