Ethical leadership is crucial for the success and sustainability of modern organizations. Therefore, this study aims to explore and investigate the effect of ethical leadership on job satisfaction. Additionally, this study investigates the mediating roles of work stress and work-life balance (WLB) in the relationship between ethical leadership and job satisfaction. Using a cross-sectional design and self-administered questionnaire, the data are collected from 110 employees working in the private hospital in Indonesia and analyzed utilizing structural equation modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 3.2 software. Research results that have no influence should be written down, because they are part of the research findings and may be unique.
