Secondly, this study examined to what extent ethical leadership perspectives of Ohio public school superintendents vary according to school district characteristics. Furthermore, the study examined to what extent do ethical leadership perspectives of Ohio public school superintendents vary according to leader demographics. A survey was used to collect data of both superintendent demographics and school district characteristics. Included in this survey were an Ethical Leadership Scale (ELS) and Social Desirability Scale (SDS). The ELS was used to measure ethical leadership perspectives of the superintendents. The SDS was used to measure social desirability of the superintendents. The survey was sent to 606 public school district superintendents in the State of Ohio of which 231 responded. Additionally, this study included an ancillary study in which the researcher conducted interviews with 15 superintendents from across the State of Ohio. The goal of these small group and individual interviews was to gain further information regarding ethical leadership perspectives and social desirability of superintendents in the State of Ohio, and furthermore, to identify district characteristics and leader demographics associated with ethical leadership perspectives. Included in these interviews, the researcher administered the ELS and SDS instruments to each participant.  \nNCPEA Education Leadership Review of Doctoral Research, Vol. 1, No. 2 – October 2014 ISSN: 1532-0723 © 2014 National Council of Professors of Educational Administration  \nThis manuscript may not be used commercially or edited.

Today, many employees search for ethical guidance from significant others versus the workplace (Kohlberg, 1969; Trevino, 1986) . Researchers (Brown, Harrison, & Trevino, 2005; Colvin, 2003; Metha, 2003; Revell, 2003) suggested that leaders in the workplace should exhibit sound ethical leadership, and help guide the ethical leadership perspectives 1 of their employees. Too often, this is not the case. Even though ethical scandals continue to occur today, researchers know“little about the ethical dimension of leadership” (Brown et al., 2005, p. 117) . Ciulla (1998) wrote “it’s remarkable that there has been little in the way of sustained and systematic treatment of the subject of ethical leadership by scholars”(p. 3) .  \nIn this study of ethical leadership, researchers and scholars can begin to better understand what may affect the ethical leadership perspectives of school leaders, and also how such perspectives relates to other variables throughout any given organization. Existing research of the ethical dimension of leadership has predominantly focused on transformational and charismatic leadership (Bass & Avolio, 2000; Brown et al., 2005; Burgess, 2002) . In many cases, transformational leadership and charismatic leadership are separate entities, but theoretically they are somewhat similar. Oftentimes, researchers describe the two as if they are interchangeable (Bono & Judge, 2003; Brown et al., 2005; Conger, 1999; Shamir, 1999) .
