Background: Public interests and concerns often create dilemmas for school principals. As such moral dilemmas are the case for schools as places marked by social, economic, cultural, and political diversity. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the relationship between management styles and moral literacy with organizational hypocrisy to understand these multiple variations.
Aims: The purpose of this study was to predict psychological hypocrisy in the organization based on moral literacy and leadership styles.
Methods: The research method was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of this study consists of all school principals in Salmas City in the academic year 2022. The research sample consisted of 35 principals of different educational levels in Salmas City who were selected by census method due to the limited population size. To collect the research data, the Leadership Styles Questionnaire (Salzman Anderkulek, 1982), the Organizational Hypocrisy Scale (Kılıçoğlu, & Yılmaz Kılıçoğlu, 2019), and the Moral Literacy Questionnaire (Stefkovich, & Begley, 2017) were used. To analyze the research data, SPSS.26 software was used using Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression using simultaneous method.
Results: The Pearson correlation coefficient results showed a negative and significant relationship between leadership styles moral literacy and organizational hypocrisy (P<0.05). This study was thought to contribute to the educational administration, organizational behavior, and leadership literature by emphasizing which variables are negatively related to organizational hypocrisy and what kind of behaviors it can engender in schools. The results of multivariate regression showed that free-thinking leadership styles (13%), moral sensitivity (3%), and ethical reasoning (7%) explain the variance of organizational hypocrisy in managers, respectively.
Conclusion: The study contributes to educational administration, organizational behavior, and leadership literature by emphasizing which variables are associated with organizational hypocrisy and what kind of behaviors it can generate in schools.
