Abstract

The current research aims at suggesting a causal structural model for interpreting the relationship between  perceived authentic leadership, psychological capital, work engagement and organizational citizenship behavior among primary education teachers.    

The research sample consists of (291) male and female teachers from primary education teachers. The research used the following tools: Psychological Capital Questionnaire, edited by the researcher,  Authentic Leadership Questionnaire (ALQ) developed by (Walumbwa et al., 2008) and translated into arabic by the researcher, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9)  developed by (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2003) and translated into arabic by the researcher and Organizational Citizenship Behavior Questionnaire, edited by the researcher to measure the current research variables. The current research used Structural Equation Model (SEM) by Liseral 8.8 and concluded with a best structural model that matches the correlations between the research variables. The results were as follows:

v Perceived authentic leadership(self-awareness, relational transparency, balanced processing, internalized moral perspective) has direct positive significant statistical effect on psychological capital (self- efficacy, hope, optimism, resilience).

v Psychological capital (self- efficacy, hope, optimism, resilience) has direct positive significant statistical effect on work engagement (vigor, dedication, absorption).

v Perceived authentic leadership(self-awareness, relational transparency, balanced processing, internalized moral perspective) has direct and indirect  positive significant statistical effect from psychological capital (self- efficacy, hope, optimism, resilience) on work engagement (vigor, dedication, absorption).

v Work engagement (vigor, dedication, absorption) has direct positive significant statistical effect on organizational citizenship behavior toward (student, colleagues, school).

v Psychological capital (self- efficacy, hope, optimism, resilience) has direct and indirect positive significant statistical effect from work engagement (vigor, dedication, absorption) on organizational citizenship behavior toward (student, colleagues, school).

v Perceived authentic leadership (self-awareness, relational transparency, balanced processing, internalized moral perspective) has indirect  positive significant statistical effect from psychological capital (self- efficacy, hope, optimism, resilience) and work engagement (vigor, dedication, absorption) on organizational citizenship behavior toward (student, colleagues, school).
