The present research explores psychological safety (PS), organizational reputation (OR), and their impact on the employee engagement (EE), and the extent of ethical leadership (EL). The organization provides statistical and demographic data for the study using a quantitative research methodology. To produce correlation tables and descriptive statistics, the data is processed and examined using IBM's SPSS and Smart-PLS Software. Based on the research study, positive correlations exist between EE and OR, PS as well as EL. The results point out specific areas where the organization performs exceptionally well and areas that need work. For EL and EE, it is crucial to promote PS and ensure a strong and stable organization’s image. These elements are required to raise employee satisfaction and overall organizational productivity. The findings give the company useful information for putting PS and reputation-building strategies into practice, which will raise EE and EL.
