Author

professor assistance of sport management

Abstract

Objective: Ethical managers significantly impact the optimal implementation of school educational programs and the achievement of the organization's educational goals. Therefore, the current research aimed to investigate the effect of school principals' moral leadership in sharing knowledge with physical education teachers based on the mediating role of psychological ownership.
Methodology: This research was conducted using the survey research method. The statistical population included all physical education teachers of Golestan province (686 teachers), among whom 247 people were selected by stratified random sampling method. The research tools included ethical leadership questionnaires (Brown et al., 2005), psychological ownership (Avi et al., 2008) and knowledge sharing (Park and Lee, 2013). Five sports management experts checked the validity of these questionnaires, and their reliability was confirmed in a preliminary study. Data analysis was done in descriptive and inferential parts (structural equation modelling).
Results: The path analysis of the research model showed that ethical management directly and significantly affects the knowledge sharing of physical education teachers. Also, the direct and significant mediating role of psychological ownership in the effect of ethical leadership on knowledge sharing was confirmed.
Conclusion: Therefore, it is suggested to the policymakers of the country's education system that by employing managers who are committed to ethical characteristics, in addition to providing the necessary platform for teachers to increase their knowledge through the acquisition and sharing of knowledge, they can empower Psychological human resources to provide a voluntary interactive environment in order to optimize educational programs and student success.
