Abstract: Ethical leadership has become a pivotal area of focus in organizational studies, particularly in understanding its influence on employee behaviour and organisational outcomes. This study examines the effects of the forms of ethical leadership on workplace health and productivity within the Congolese Mining Sector. The mining sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo, provides a pertinent setting to investigate how ethical leadership behaviours permeate through various organizational levels, affecting employee well-being and overall productivity. The study employs a quantitative approach to assess the correlation between ethical leadership practices and key workplace outcomes. A sample of 330 participants was selected through a stratified random sampling approach. Data was collected through surveys distributed to employees across different departments within companies in the Congolese Mining Sector. The outcomes of this study revealed a positive correlation between ethical leadership and both workplace health and productivity. These findings highlight the importance of the forms of ethical leadership in fostering a positive work environment, which, in turn, enhances employee well-being and boosts overall productivity.
