Structural equation modeling is used to analyze the proposed relationships. The sample consists of 448 professionals inthe Colombian electricity sector. Ethical leaders increase organizational commitment, specifically the affective, normative, and perceived investment dimensions (Continuance 2), but not the perspective of lack of job opportunities (Continuance 1). Work self-efficacy explains how ethical leadership influences the analyzed dimensions of organizational commitment, with the exception of the lack of job opportunities (Continuance 1). Ethical leadership seeks to meet the socio-emotional needs of followers. When employees feel listened to and valued by the leader, they voluntarily choose to increase their commitment. However, when employees feel trapped in an organization and experience a constant sense of obligation, their discouragement intensifies, and they withdraw emotionally until they are disconnected from the positive effects of ethical leadership and work self-efficacy.Este estudio analiza el efecto del liderazgo ético sobre el compromiso organizacional teniendo en cuenta a la autoeficacia laboral como variable mediadora. Para examinar las relaciones propuestas se utiliza un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. La muestra está compuesta por 448 profesionales pertenecientes al sector eléctrico colombiano. Los líderes éticos incrementan el compromiso organizacional, específicamente, las dimensiones afectiva, normativa y de inversiones percibidas (Continuidad 2), pero no la  perspectiva de falta de oportunidades laborales (Continuidad 1). La autoeficacia laboral explica cómo el liderazgo ético influye en las dimensiones analizadas del compromiso organizacional, con excepción de la falta de oportunidades laborales (Continuidad 1). El liderazgo ético busca satisfacer las necesidades socioemocionales de los seguidores. Cuando los empleados se sienten escuchadosy valorados por el líder, optan voluntariamente por aumentar su compromiso. Sin embargo, cuando los empleados se sienten atrapados en una organización y experimentan una sensación constante de obligación, su desánimo se intensifica y se retraen emocionalmente hasta desconectarse de los efectos positivos del liderazgo ético y de la autoeficacia laboral.Escuela de Administración de Empresas.
