Abstract

This study aimed to assess the level of ethical leadership and managerial creativity among employees in the courts of Southern Palestine using a descriptive correlational approach. The study encompassed all 399 employees working in these courts, from whom a simple random sample was selected. A total of 234 valid questionnaires were retrieved for analysis, yielding a response rate of 58.6%. The results indicated that the levels of ethical leadership and managerial creativity among employees were high. Additionally, a statistically significant positive relationship was found between ethical leadership and managerial creativity. The study recommends enhancing ethical leadership practices, such as integrity, fairness, responsibility, and transparency, while fostering a positive work environment that encourages creativity. Furthermore, it suggests developing specialized training programs, strengthening a culture of accountability and rewards for ethical behaviors, and conducting further studies across various sectors to obtain more precise findings.
