Abstract

As corruption is a problem in any nation in the world, it is too in Ethiopia, including Public Enterprises. The leadership approach is becoming a significant element in altering the anti-corruption efforts in combating corruption in the Public Enterprise realm.This study describes theleadership approaches as an additive effort to fight against corruption in the Ethiopian Public Enterprises realm. We used a qualitative research approach and convenient sampling techniques to analyse the data obtained from secondary and primary sources.First, the study found that the Public Enterprise's objective is not achieved due to a lack of political and administrative leadership commitment and capabilityto plan, implement, monitor, and support anti-corruption activities in the Public Enterprise. From this, the researcher argues that two kinds of human insecurity–being absolutely poor and/or rich – lead to corruption in the sector caused by insecurity from being unfairly poor and insecurity from being unfairly rich, requiring altruistic leadership indispensably. Therefore, ethically, morally, and professionally developed leaders are earnest in changing the despondent Corruption in METEC/EEG or at the federal level.
