Abstract :In this study, the perceived impact of ethical leadership on employees’ burnout feeling and intention to quit and the relation between employees’ burnout feeling and intention to quit have been tested. Quantitative analysis has been used to test hypotheses. Convenience sampling method was used in this study. Hypothesis testing has been used to understand the relationships among factors, to explain the variances in the dependent variables which are employees ‘burnout feeling and employees’ intention to quit. By hypotheses testing, it was aimed to theorize the factors that influence dependent variables and then test the hypotheses that two dependent variables significantly explain the variance in independent variable. 300 employees actively working in the companies participated to the study. A positive correlation has been found between leader trustworthiness and intention of employees to stay in their organization. Research has shown that employees who perceives their leaders as ethical in their organizations have lower burnout feeling and lower intention to quit. Additionally research has shown that there is a positive relation between employees’ burnout feeling and intention to quit.
