In a rapidly changing labour market shaped by technological, social, and economic transformations, organizations must adapt their leadership practices to promote healthy and sustainable work environments. This study examines the relationship between organizational ethics and values, leadership engagement, and the psychosocial work environment. The sample included 4,551 workers from multiple sectors, of whom 63.1% were female, aged between 18 and 73 years (M = 44.8; SD = 10.80). Data were collected using a short version of the Healthy Workplace Ecosystems Instrument (EATS), based on the Healthy Workplaces model proposed by the World Health Organization. Group comparisons identified higher-risk profiles, including employees experiencing burnout symptoms, chronic illness, unstable employment conditions, or dissatisfaction with remuneration. Mediation analysis revealed that the relationship between leadership engagement and the psychosocial work environment is mediated by organizational ethics and values, highlighting the importance of ethical leadership and organizational culture in promoting employee well-being and reducing psychosocial risks.
