Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of moral leadership on occupational burnout with emphasis on the mediating role of social and psychological capital. The present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational in terms of method. The statistical population was the teachers working in the secondary school of high school in Behbahan in the academic year 1399-1400 with 380 people. The sample size which was calculated using a simple random sampling method and based on Morgan table was 181 people. In order to collect data, the Ethical Leadership Questionnaire of Kalashoven et al. (2011), Maslach’s Occupational Burnout Questionnaire (2002), Psychological capital Questionnaire of Luthans et al. (2007) and Abili’s Social Capital Questionnaire (2011) were used. The results showed that moral leadership has a positive and significant effect on psychological capital and social capital; social capital has a negative and significant effect on occupational burnout as well as moral leadership on occupational burnout, but psychological capital has no significant effect on occupational burnout. Psychological capital and social capital have a mediating role in the relationship between moral leadership and occupational burnout, so that moral leadership has a direct and indirect effect on burnout. Therefore, by strengthening the moral leadership, social and psychological capital of teachers, it is possible to prevent their occupational burnout.
