Abstract
Background and Aim: Psychological well-being has always been considered by psychologists in work environments, including the teaching profession. In this regard, the present study was conducted to investigate the role of social intelligence and moral leadership in predicting teachers' psychological well-being.
Methods: The present study was a descriptive-analytical correlational study. The statistical population included all secondary school teachers in Baharestan in the academic year 2019-20 (480 people); 214 people were selected based on Krejcie & Morgan table (1970) by available sampling method. Research data collection tools were included Ethical Leadership Questionnaire Brown et al (2005), Social Intelligence Silvera et al (2001) and Ryff (1989) Short Form of Psychological Well-Being. Standard deviation and Pearson correlation test and simultaneous regression at the significance level of α=0.01 were used to analyze the data using SPSS software 22.
Ethical Considerations: In this research, ethical aspects including preserving the authenticity of texts, honesty, trustworthiness, confidentiality of information and obtaining informed consent have been considered.
Results: The results showed that the correlation between moral leadership with psychological well-being (r=0.523, p<0.01) and social intelligence with psychological well-being (r=0.638, p<0.01) was positive and significant. Also, the components of moral leadership explain 28.6% and social intelligence 35.4% of the variance of psychological well-being (p<0.01).
Conclusion: According to the research findings, in order to promote ethical behavior in schools by modeling characteristics, educational officials should culturalize this type of behavior among school managers and leaders.
