Ethical leaders are individuals who inspire, motivate, and cultivate an ethical workplace culture that promotes the well-being of employees. In response to the growing concern over ethically questionable practices, interest in ethical leadership has increased significantly among scholars, particularly regarding its potential influence on employee commitment. This study examined the relationship between ethical leadership and job commitment among non-teaching staff at the University of Calabar. The research adopted a correlational design and was conducted within the University of Calabar, located in Calabar Municipality, Cross River State, Nigeria. The study population comprised 123 non-teaching staff drawn from three major administrative units: Registry, Bursary, and Library. A convenience sampling technique was employed to select the participants. Data were collected using a 16-items questionnaire developed by the researcher, titled Ethical School Leadership and Staff Job Commitment Questionnaire (ESLSJCQ). The questionnaire was structured on a four-point modified Likert scale ranging from Strongly Agree (SA) to Strongly Disagree (SD). Its face and content validity were confirmed by three experts from the Departments of Educational Management and Measurement & Evaluation at the Faculty of Educational Foundation Studies, University of Calabar. To ensure reliability, a pilot test was conducted with 50 non-teaching staff from the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS). The internal consistency of the instrument was assessed using the Cronbach Alpha method, yielding reliability coefficients ranging from 0.88 to 0.92. Data analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Descriptive statistics and simple linear regression analysis (SPSS Version 21) were used to answer the research questions. Hypotheses were tested using ANOVA and regression coefficients at the 0.05 level of significance, analyzed with SPSS Version 27. Results were presented in tabular form. The findings indicated that ethical leadership significantly predicts job commitment among non-teaching staff at the University of Calabar. The study concluded that ethical leadership is a vital factor in enhancing staff commitment. Specifically, when university leaders demonstrate integrity, fairness, transparency, and respect, non-teaching staff are more likely to be punctual, dedicated, and willing to go beyond their assigned duties. Based on these findings, the study recommends that the University of Calabar institutionalize regular ethical leadership training for all senior administrative staff. Such training should emphasize core values like integrity, fairness, and accountability, as a strategic means of strengthening job commitment among non-teaching personnel.
