The topic of ethical leadership has received significant attention in recent years due to the plethora of corporate scandals in the USA, India and other countries. The shocking financial irregularities that have been uncovered in the executive suites of Wall Street Darlings like Tyco International, World Com, Adelphia, Enron and more recently the Satyam Computer's scandals in India bring to fore the need for ethical leadership more than ever before. Indians' biggest ever corporate scandal took a sensational new turn when Chairman (Mr. B. Ramalinga Raju) of Satyam Computers, the IT service giant, admitted he orchestrated a $ 1 billion fraud and resigned. He also said to the board that he had widely inflated the company's profitability for several years. This resulted in 50.4 billion worth of balance sheet at the end of September.

After become acquainted with such type of corporate scandals now day's organizations are spending a lot of effort and money to project them as ethical and socially responsible organization in the eyes of their customers.Keywords

The nursing role is rapidly evolving as nurses are tasked with an even wider range of healthcare responsibilities. With an increase in complexity and demand for better healthcare system, the roles of nurses have become more challenging. A poor mental health and quality of sleep of nurses can have an impact on their day to day fhnetioning which in turn can pose a threat, especially on the patients of critical wards as compared to other wards, because they require complex assessment and high risk treatments. Moreover, nurses are often scheduled to do rotating shifts (i.e., day, evening, night) and also have to work overtime to provide quality care to their patients around the clock. Abrupt deviations from normal timing of work often disrupt one's internal biological clock. The present study aims to trace and compare the dimensions of positive mental health status and quality of sleep among nurses of critical and general ward of private hospitals with an age of 21 to 31yrs.To collect data, quantitative and survey research was conducted. The result showed no significant difference between the nurses of two wards with regards to their mental health status. But on the other hand, the critical ward nurses showed poor quality of sleep which is more related to 'sleep duration' and 'sleep latency'. The study can be important for the administrative staffs of private hospitals, so that they can recommend and make arrangements for nurses and their duties accordingly.Keywords
