Upward ethical leadership is when leadership behaviors exhibited by employees who act to maintain higher ethical standards in spite of questionable or unethical moral conduct from their superiors. The employees should stand up and establish personal power bases and develop skills towards upward ethical leadership that may be helpful to management to respond to the ethical misconducts. In this regard, when there is an unethical act from the management, employees should not accept this ethical misconduct but instead stand up, take a stand in the face of ethical violation
