In a world where economic, social, political, technical, and behavioral conditions are constantly changing and developing, the importance of ethics in management theories and
practices has come to the fore, as behaviors and practices contrary to social values and
norms in the field of management have increased. The increase in ethical behavior practices
in organizations contributes to the easier execution of management processes that can be
realized under the leadership of ethical leaders. As in every organization, ethical leaders
are also needed in health institutions. In recent years, scientific literature has investigated
the issue of ethical leadership in nursing services management, with studies focusing on
patient, employee, and institutional outcomes. Aiming to raise nurse managers’ awareness
of ethical leadership and its effects, this review contributes to the national literature by
offering suggestions that may contribute to the formation of ethical leaders in nursing
services.
