  ABSTRACT: Corruption in the workplace is one of the most intensively discussed themes in recent years. Continual scandals in business and public sectors over the last decades have increased interest in self-accountability to prevent engaging in corrupt behavior in the workplace. To address the need to promote self-accountability in the context of leadership, this paper mentions five leadership practices that affect self-accountability in respect of enhancing ethical behavior. Scholarly literature on corruption and self-accountability was examined and trends surfaced in five practices: self-criticism, self-monitoring, self-management, self-leadership, and moral cognitive. This paper aims at providing organizational leaders with a framework for increasing their self- accountability practices toward reducing corrupt behavior and creating an ethical climate in the workplace.
