Out of many, one potential research topic on the modulation of organizational conflict (over, say, needs, beliefs, resources, and relationships) by means of ethical leadership may pertain to ways to reconcile shareholder primacy with stakeholder capitalism. Unlike the Baby Boomer and Gen X generations, for example, Gen Z is more concerned about organizational purpose and impact in the world.

I would recommend reading the following article:

- Alfred Wong et al. (2919) Ethical leaders manage conflict to develop trust, Leadership & Organization Development Journal Vol. 41 No. 1, pp. 133-146 DOI 10.1108/LODJ-10-2018-03

The conflict often arises because of the disagreement, consciously or unconsciously as to the order of priority of each stakeholder (shareholders, senior execs, employees, suppliers, customers, community, planet, etc). Bring values to full consciousness and acting ethically is the only way to resolve this. A full explanation is found in our acclaimed book, "Leading Beyond the Ego", but you can find a number of related and useful articles under my name in ResearchGate. Amongst them "Ethical Leadership" and Transpersonal Leadership".

Do a literature search, then an annotated bibliography. That should give you a topic.

Or look at the nexus between capitalism and authoritarianism from the point of view of managers, organized labor, professionals and unorganized labor.

Or look at executive pay. If it is too high relative to workers, no claim can be made to any kind if "ethics." This is especially the case if there is an adversarial relationship in pay or there are sweat shops in the supply chain.
