Abstract

To understand how ethical leadership, emotional leadership, and transformational leadership impact employees' intention to quit in the Malaysian manufacturing industry, a study was undertaken. In this study, a quantitative technique was utilized to gather data from a sample of 175 employees selected from industrial enterprises in the Klang Valley, Malaysia by the use of an online questionnaire. As a means of gathering data, a verified questionnaire with pertinent questions for the study was used. The research findings indicated that there were negative relationships between ethical leadership, transformational leadership and emotional leadership with quitting intention. This showed that employees will have less intention to quit with the increase in ethical leadership, emotional leadership as well and transformational leadership. It also led to further understanding that transformational leadership and emotional leadership had significant effects on employees’ intention to quit respectively. These findings were hoped to help organization leaders keep their employees motivated and satisfied with their jobs to make them loyal customers to the company. This study was carried out with employees as the respondents and was set to be in the manufacturing sector in Klang Valley, Malaysia which included all of Selangor's major districts. This was done by choosing samples from different districts that were actively engaged in the manufacturing sector.
