leadership, Russian-Ukrainian war, ethical dimensions, decision-making, responsibility.Abstract
The purpose of the article is to study the ethical dimensions of leadership in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, to analyse the impact of value orientations on decision-making strategies. The methodology of this study is qualitative, which means the use of a qualitative approach based on the analysis of scientific literature and expert opinions. The application of this approach contributed to obtaining a general idea of the peculiarities of the implementation of ethical concepts and leadership based on the content analysis of scientific literature. The findings indicate that in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, ethical aspects of leadership manifest themselves as determining factors in the formation of decision-making strategies in organisations and management structures. The analysis of the influence of value orientations on these strategies shows that leaders who are focused on humanitarian values define strategies that are committed to caring for their subordinates. Their decisions reflect national values and patriotism. In the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, it becomes obvious that ethical aspects of leadership determine decision-making strategies based on value orientations.
