Apparently, the recent challenges require the staff of the said universities to equip themselves with leadership quality in order to fulfill the organizational vision. Many previous studies have shown several factors (such as emotional intelligence) had influenced effective leadership. Besides effectiveness, another significant issue in leadership research is ethical behaviors of leaders. The respondents will consist of middle administrators in Malaysian public universities. Most of the past results had suggested that there were significant relationships between these variables. The findings are expected to have some contributions both to the practical and theoretical aspects and enable public universities to improve their leadership development programs.
