Abstract
The goal of this study is to examine how ethical leadership affects employee moral ambiguity at work, employee motivation, and employee stress, as well as how these factors affect the caliber of employee performance at PT Dirgantara Indonesia. Work from home activities cause issues for PT Dirgantara Indonesia during the Covid-19 epidemic. Management is focused on figuring out how to keep every employee productive during the epidemic. So that the management of PT. Dirgantara Indonesia can focus on the application of ethical leadership in the firm to improve the quality of employee performance, the contribution to this research is anticipated. Using a likert scale, a questionnaire was used to collect the data for this investigation. 112 participants, all permanent workers of PT. Dirgantara Indonesia, comprised the study's sample. Using the census sampling approach, compute a sample. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), a form of analysis used in this work, uses PLS software. The study's findings demonstrate that ethical leadership can decrease employee ethical ambiguity, that ethical ambiguity can increase workplace stress, that ethical leadership can decrease workplace stress, that ethical leadership can boost workplace motivation, that ethical leadership can improve employee performance quality, and that workplace stress can lower employee performance quality. The study's conclusion is that PT. Dirgantara Indonesia can assess the implementation of ethical leadership by hosting sharing sessions before and after work hours that highlight what managers do to their staff.
