Ethical leadership create a great effect on self-concept and beliefs of followers. The effect of ethical pioneers’ behavior on work engagement is decreased for leader who have not kept their original and public character in the same line. The connection among the ethical management and followers work engagement is moderated by means of pioneers ranking on Machiavellianism. The leader Machiavellianism act as a moderator in the relationship between ethical pioneers and employee work engagement. The purpose of this study was to find out the influence of ethical leadership on work engagement and to test the role of leader Machiavellianism in the relationship between ethical guidance and work engagement. Correlational study was conducted to measure the work engagement and Machiavellian in the ethical leadership process. A Self- administered questionnaire was floated to collect data from charge nurses. The results of the study showed the positive significant relationship between the ethical leadership and work engagement and insignificant relationship of Machiavellianism in the relationship between ethical leadership and work engagement. This study argues that when leader is highly Machiavellian then the positive effects of leaders are repressed. The study also shows that effect of ethical pioneer conduct on work engagement are poor when moral leaders are highly Machiavellianism.
