Ethico-political leadership in public organizations in Zimbabwe
(University of the Western Cape, 2022) Mabwe, Nosheni; Bayat, Abdullah
The study investigated the ethico-political leadership in two Zimbabwean State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs). Since Zimbabwe attained its independence in 1980, the citizens have witnessed an alarming rate of unethical activities within public organisations. Reports of dishonest behaviour such as embezzlement, bribery, self-serving interest, no answerability, and dishonesty of managers in public organisations are widespread. A case study research design was engaged to encompass an in-depth description of the experience of managers in the two public organisations. A qualitative research approach was used because it allows for a systematic approach to describe life experiences and meaning.
