This research explores the role of ethical leadership in increasing employee retention in multinational companies (MNCs). In the context of intense global competition, high levels of employee turnover pose a significant challenge for MNCs, which can disrupt organizational stability and increase recruitment costs. Through a systematic review of relevant literature, this research identified five key dimensions of ethical leadership that contribute to employee retention: integrity and transparency, fairness and justice, modeling ethical behavior, employee-focused decision making, and a supportive work environment. Findings suggest that ethical leadership not only increases employee job satisfaction and commitment, but also creates a positive organizational culture that supports long-term loyalty. This research provides practical insights for managers and leaders in MNCs to develop leadership strategies that focus on ethics to reduce turnover and increase organizational competitiveness.
