Abstract :
This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the impact of ethical leadership dimensions on the organizational commitment of employees in the General Department of Education of Kurdistan province. The research method is descriptive and correlational, and the library method was used to develop the theoretical framework of the research. The statistical population of this research is the employees of the General Department of Education of Kurdistan province and the education districts of Sanandaj city, whose number is 430 people. The sample size of 203 people was determined, and 191 questionnaires were analyzed among the distributed questionnaires. In this research, Allen and Mayer's standard organizational commitment questionnaire and researcher-made ethical leadership questionnaire were used. The reliability of the ethical leadership questionnaire was calculated as 0.811 and its content validity was also confirmed. The results of the descriptive analysis of the data state that the organizational commitment index and its dimensions, as well as the moral leadership index and its dimensions among the employees of the General Department of Education of Kurdistan province and the education districts of Sanandaj city are at the upper average level. The results of the inferential analysis and the test of research hypotheses state that there is a direct and meaningful relationship between ethical leadership (ethical person dimension, ethical manager dimension) and organizational commitment (emotional and normative). Although the mentioned correlations are not strong, the results of the regression models predict well the amount of changes in organizational commitment (emotional and normative) by the ethical leadership variable (ethical person dimension, ethical manager dimension).
