Abstract

This study samples 270 employees from Ghana’s Civil Service to examine their perception of their leaders and the relative influence this leadership attribute has on their citizenship and unproductive behaviours at the workplace. The study finds that leader integrity is strongly related to the OCB of followers but has no significant relationship with their deviant behaviours. The study thus recommends that managers be mindful to demonstrate integrity in the search for positive employee outcomes. This study is the first to examine the relationship between these variables in an African context.
