ABSTRACT:- In the construction sector of Pakistan’s major cities, this study explores the connection between ethical leadership and team cohesion. It zeroes in on the role that faith in leadership plays as a mediator between the two. Ethical leadership, which includes being truthful, fair, and transparent, is crucial for fostering trust and positive team relationships. This study statistically analyses the correlation between moral leadership and team cohesion, controlling for followers’ trust in their leaders. A total of 223 professionals from Pakistan’s main cities’ building industries participated in the survey. Using SPSS, we were able to find mediation effects and significant correlations in the data. Based on the findings, trust in leadership is an important mediator between ethical leadership and team cohesion. This research shows that ethical leadership practices are necessary to boost productivity and collaboration on construction sites. Policymakers and managers in the sector should take note of the discussion around the need of ethical leadership development programs in boosting organizational performance and team productivity.
