Abstract

The study aims to reveal the reality of perceptions of values, moral leadership, and organizational commitment among teachers in Jerusalem schools, as well as examining the construction of a proposed model for this relation. To achieve this, the descriptive correlational approach was used, through a cross-sectional design, as one of the quantitative methods that uses correlation analysis and the structural model, to verify the relationships between variables, through a questionnaire that includes the three study measures, through a sample that included 366 male and female teachers, chosen by the stratified method. Random. The results of the study show that the reality of perceptions of values, ethical leadership, and organizational commitment, from the point of view of Jerusalem school teachers, was at a high degree. The results also show that there is a direct effect between ethical leadership on the one hand and both: (perceptions of values and organizational commitment), and also the presence of a direct effect between Perceptions of values and organizational commitment. The value of the indirect effect of ethical leadership on organizational commitment came in the presence of perceptions of values, which means that there is an effect of the mediating variable, perceptions of values, on the relationship between ethical leadership and organizational commitment.
