Abstract

Examining the impact of moral leadership on worker performance at the TANESCO Tabora office was the primary goal of the study. The study specifically looked at how role clarity, power sharing, and fairness affected worker performance. With the use of a quantitative research approach and an explanatory research design, the study utilized the positivist philosophy. 312 workers from the TANESCO Tabora Office made up the study population, and 175 responses were selected at random to make up the sample size. A systematic questionnaire was used to collect the data, and descriptive, correlation, and regression analysis were used to analyze the results. The results showed that job clarity, power sharing, and fairness had a considerable positive impact on worker performance. In terms of how power sharing affects worker performance at the TANESCO Tabora location, the results showed a strong positive correlation between the variables. Last but not least, the study suggests that TANESCO Tabora office management treat staff fairly in terms of a reward system given the impact of fairness on employee performance. The establishment of an appraisal system can facilitate the equitable distribution of awards within the organization. Junior employees could be involved in the decision-making process at TANESCO to foster participatory decision-making, which is necessary given the impact of power sharing on employee performance. Regarding how job clarification affects employee performance, senior management can make goals clearer for staff members to increase their awareness of and understanding of what is required of them. The process of creating goals for TANESCO personnel should involve human resources. Key words: Ethical leadership, employee performance, fairness, power sharing, role clarification, TANESCO, Tabora
