Abstract

AbstractThe primary objective of this research article is to study the concept of ethical leadership by determining the perceptions of school teachers regarding ethical leadership behaviors of the school leaders and establishing its relation with teacher’s commitment. In addition, this study tests the validity of ELQ survey instrument in educational sector of Pakistan. The research has collected data from a random sample of schools in the two largest districts of Punjab in Pakistan. The empirical study is based on primary data collected from 320 teachers and the results of this study reveal that the teachers perceived their leaders to be moderately ethical and a significant positive relationship existed between the two. Also, age and gender of employees did not affect the ethical leadership behaviors, however seniority of the employee had an impact on the ethical leadership behavior perceptions. Also, Ethical leadership was also found to positively impact on the two out of four dimensions of the teacher commitment, which are commitment to teaching and commitment to profession. This study adds contribution to theory by investigating the relationship between ethical leadership behaviors and the organizational commitment by conceptualizing it as teacher commitment. The practical implication of this study is that effective ethical leadership behavior that drives employee commitment need to be fostered in organizations to drive efficient performance.

巴基斯坦伦理领导观念及其对教师承诺影响的研究

摘要本文的主要目的是通过确定学校教师对学校领导道德领导行为的看法，并建立其与教师承诺的关系，来研究道德领导的概念。此外，本研究还检验了ELQ调查工具在巴基斯坦教育部门的有效性。这项研究从巴基斯坦旁遮普邦两个最大地区的学校随机抽样中收集了数据。实证研究基于320名教师的初步数据，研究结果表明，教师认为自己的领导者具有适度的道德操守，二者之间存在显著的正相关关系。此外，员工的年龄和性别不影响道德领导行为，但员工的资历对道德领导行为感知有影响。此外，道德领导力也对教师承诺的四个维度中的两个维度产生了积极影响，即对教学的承诺和对专业的承诺。本研究通过将道德领导行为与组织承诺概念化为教师承诺，研究了道德领导行为和组织承诺之间的关系，为理论做出了贡献。本研究的实际意义在于，需要在组织中培养有效的道德领导行为，以推动员工的承诺，从而提高绩效。
