<![CDATA[This article aims to conduct a systematic literature review on the construct of ethical leadership and its relationship with subordinate trust. Through the analysis of various empirical and theoretical studies, this article examines the concepts, dimensions, and mechanisms of ethical leadership that contribute to the formation of subordinate trust. Findings from the literature review consistently demonstrate that ethical leadership is positively associated with subordinate trust through mechanisms of social learning, social exchange, and value internalization. Leaders who exhibit integrity, honesty, fairness, care, and altruistic behavior have been shown to build strong trust among subordinates, which ultimately has a positive impact on performance, commitment, and organizational well-being. ]]>
