Abstract:

The aim of this study is to study teachers’ levels of confidence in the school manager and the impact of ethical leadership behaviors shown by the school manager on organizational silence. The research group consists of 380 teachers working in the province of Konya. As a data collection tool, the Employee Silence Scale is used to determine the causes of the teachers' organizational silence, the Multi-purpose T Scale is used to determine the level of confidence in the school manager, and the Ethical Leadership Scale is used to determine the ethical leadership behaviors of the managers. According to the study, there was a negative relationship between the school manager’s trust and the school manager’s ethical leadership behavior and organizational silence. Furthermore, trust in the school manager and ethical leadership behaviors together explained about 24% of organizational silence, while the one-significant contributor to organizational silence was observed as ethical leadership behaviors. According to these findings, there are recommendations on the subsequent work and management practices to be done on the subject.
