Abstract

This study examines the impact of ethics and accountability on organizational performance in the public sector, with a specific focus on the moderating role of perceived organizational support. The research was conducted in the context of civil servants in Kwara State, Nigeria. The study employs a questionnaire-based survey administered to 165 civil servants, and data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings of the study reveal that both ethics and accountability have a significant positive influence on organizational performance. Furthermore, perceived organizational support was found to moderate the relationship between ethics, accountability, and organizational performance. Specifically, when employees perceive higher levels of support from their organization, the positive impact of ethics and accountability on performance is strengthened. These findings have important implications for public sector organizations. To enhance organizational performance, organizations should prioritize the promotion of ethical behavior and accountability through the establishment of ethical codes, training programs, and accountability mechanisms. Additionally, organizations should strive to create a supportive work environment by providing resources, and opportunities for development, and demonstrating genuine concern for employees' well-being. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence of the significant role of ethics, accountability, and perceived organizational support in driving organizational performance in the public sector.

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between employee voice, ethical behaviour, employee commitment, and engagement in the public service. Using a purposive sampling technique of 125 employees as samples from five selected ministries and agencies in the Kwara State Civil Service in Nigeria, a questionnaire was administered and analysed using Structural Equation Modelling—Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The study found that employee voice positively influenced ethical behaviour, employee commitment, and employee engagement. Ethical behaviour, in turn, had a positive effect on employee commitment and engagement. The study also revealed that employee commitment partially mediated the relationship between employee voice and employee engagement. The results suggest that empowering employees to speak up and provide feedback on ethical issues can lead to a greater sense of commitment and engagement. The study recommends that organisations prioritise ethical behaviour and integrity in their operations, provide training and support to help employees feel more comfortable speaking up, and create a culture of transparency and accountability. The study also highlights the importance of promoting employee commitment to improve employee engagement through professional development opportunities, recognition and rewards, and a supportive work environment.
