Abstract

The study explains the mediating role of the nexus of generative influence between regulative framework and ethical performance in local governments in Wakiso district, Uganda. The study was based on a sample of 435 comprising technical staff and local leaders. Data were analysed using SPSS and SEM techniques. The results show that nexus of generative influence partially mediates the relationship between regulative framework and ethical performance. The study recommends that laws and policies are useful in promoting ethical performance. Leadership structures embedded with nexus of generative influence, create enabling environment to make technical staff and local government leaders accountable.
