Abstract

Heritage organizations are having a time keeping their workforce going while also keeping the public’s trust and preserving our cultural values. This study looks at how ethical leaders and engaged employees can help heritage organizations manage their people in a way that’s good for everyone. The people who did this study used numbers and statistics to see what was going on. They asked employees at heritage organizations some questions. Then used special math to understand the answers. They wanted to see if ethical leaders could help get employees more involved and if that would lead to better people management. What they found out is that when leaders are ethical it really helps employees get engaged and it also helps heritage organizations manage their people in a way. Heritage organizations and Sustainable Human Resource Management are very important in this study. The study of heritage organizations and Sustainable Human Resource Management is really, about how to keep people working together. Workforce engagement is really important for things like how happy employees are, how long they stay at a company and how much they care about the organization. When we look at the numbers we can see that workforce engagement plays a role in the relationship, between ethical leadership and the way a company manages its employees. This means that ethical leadership can affect the company in two ways: directly and also by making employees more engaged. This study helps us learn more about workforce engagement because it looks at established companies, which is something that not many people have studied before. Workforce engagement is a part of this and it is interesting to see how it affects Sustainable Human Resource Management outcomes. The results imply that heritage institutions should emphasize ethical leadership development and engagement-focused HR policies to promote workforce sustainability.
