This perception is enhanced or decreased by leader communication to employees. Employee perceptions of ethical behavior in leaders must be interpreted along with their interpretations of leadership communication of ethical attitudes to avoid negative consequences such of employee dissatisfaction (Zhu, May, & Avolio, 2004).

The problem is that perceptions of ethical leadership in an organization are important for employee job satisfaction and leader communication may influence these perceptions. Further, employee perceptions of leadership behavior and communication may differ from leader perceptions of these factors. Thus, it is equally important to understand how employees and managers view manager behavior and communication within a business.
