Sažetak
This study explores how ethical leadership fosters employees'
feedback-seeking behaviours. Drawing on Self-Determination
Theory, the research identifies intrinsic motivation and
affective commitment as key mediators through which ethical
leaders encourage proactive feedback-seeking. The findings
reveal that ethical leadership positively influences employees'
intrinsic motivation and affective commitment to the
organisation, which in turn enhances their tendency to
feedback – an essential behaviour in dynamic and quality-
-sensitive work environments such as manufacturing. To
empirically test this model, a cross-sectional survey was
conducted among 422 employees at a large manufacturing
plant in Manisa, Türkiye. The results support a serial
mediation model, confirming that ethical leadership indirectly
promotes feedback-seeking behaviours through increased
intrinsic motivation and affective commitment.
