This research seeks to (1) understand how ethical leadership affects employee ethical behavior, (2) how it affects person-organization fit, (3) how it affects ethical behaviour, and (4) how it mediates between ethical management and ethical review.

Disseminating questionnaires collects quantitative data, while qualitative data is collected by observing the research site, interviewing Credit Corporation managers and chief managers, and reviewing relevant literature. The questionnaire, the primary data collection instrument, measures ethical leadership, employee ethics, and Person-Organization Fit with 15 indicators. A credit cooperative officer in Ende, a community of 39 inhabitants, was sampled. They come from Ende's six credit cooperatives. Data was analyzed using SmartPLS 4.0.1.

According to the R-Square test, ethical leadership and person-organization fit influenced employee ethical behavior by 42%, while other variables influenced the remaining 58%. The test results showed that ethical leadership has a positive and significant effect on person-organization fit, an ethical influence and significant effect on the ethical behavior of Credit Cooperative employees in Ende, a positive but non-significant effect on employee ethical behaviour, and a positive but non-significant effect on employee ethical behavior through person-organization fit.
