ETHICAL LEADERSHIP IN EDUCATION AND ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE: A CONTEMPORARY THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE

Summary/Abstract: Educational institutions are increasingly required to respond to complex societal, technological, and organizational challenges while maintaining high standards of accountability, transparency, and educational quality. Within this context, ethical leadership has emerged as one of the most significant dimensions of educational management, extending beyond administrative efficiency to encompass moral responsibility, fairness, integrity, and the promotion of shared organizational values. Simultaneously, organizational culture has been widely recognized as a critical determinant of school effectiveness, influencing teachers' professional commitment, collaboration, innovation, and institutional resilience.This conceptual paper examines the relationship between ethical leadership and organizational culture from a contemporary educational perspective. Drawing upon leadership theory, organizational studies, educational management research, and recent international literature, the paper explores the mechanisms through which ethical leadership contributes to the development of sustainable organizational cultures in schools.
