the role of managers’ ethical leadership and the mediating role of professional commitment in teachers’ job performance

the purpose of this study was to investigate the role of managers’ ethical leadership in teachers’ job performance with the mediating role of professional commitment. this study used quantitative descriptive-correlational method with structural equations modeling. the study population comprised all elementary school teachers in tuyserkan (n=332), who were selected by census because the statistical population was small. data were collected through the ethical leadership questionnaire of kalshovenet al. (2011), clikeman hening’s professional commitment (2000), and patterson (1996) job performance questionnaire. cronbach’s alpha coefficient and confirmatory factor analysis were used to determine the reliability of the instruments. data were analyzed using pearson’s correlation test and structural equation modeling technique in lisrel10.30 software. findings showed that managers’ ethical leadership and teachers’ professional commitment have a significant effect on job performance (0.05). ethical leadership mediated by professional commitment also affects teachers’ job performance (0.05).introduction                                                       teachers’ job performance is their ability to combine teaching and learning inputs to improve the teaching-learning process (adimi, 2010; quoted in lai, 2020). research has shown that training, empowerment and process modification alone do not determine teachers’ job performance (erdal altindag, 2020). according to research results, professional commitment has a positive effect on job performance (sunyoto et al., 2019). an organization whose employees have a high level of professional commitment achieves the expected results (arifin et al., 2019). professional commitment is to intervene and participate in organizational affairs in order to facilitate the achievement of organizational goals. applying individual competencies, skills, knowledge and resources in pursuing organizational goals is the result of professional commitment. in the school system, teachers ’willingness to strive for students’ academic achievement is an example of organizational and professional commitment (onukwu et al., 2020).ethical leadership determines employees’ performance and increases their level of commitment (agha et al., 2017). ethical leadership alone cannot determine job performance of teachers, and other organizational variables can also affect the relationship between ethical leadership and job performance. one such factor is professional commitment. given all these and the ethical leadership model of kalshoven et al. (2011) in mind, the following hypotheses were proposed:ethical leadership of managers has a positive and significant effect on teachers’ job performance.teachers’ professional commitment has a positive and significant effect on teachers’ job performance.ethical leadership of principals has a positive and significant effect on the professional commitment of teachers.ethical leadership of managers due to the professional commitment of teachers has a positive and significant effect on the job performance of teachers.methodologythe research method is descriptive-correlational with structural equation modeling. the study population comprised all elementary school teachers in tuyserkan (n=332), of whom 313 teachers participated in the study.data collection tools include the following:ethical leadership questionnaire: this 24-item questionnaire was designed by kalshon et al. (2011) in five dimensions of fairness, individual orientation, ethical guidelines, power sharing and role transparency and is scored as five-point likert scale.
