Abstract

This research aimed to create a model for developing ethical leadership for school administrators under the Office of Primary Education Service Area through identifying the model components, examining both the current and the desirable conditions, and determining needs priorities for development. Five key components of ethical leadership for the school administrators are trust, responsibility, respect, citizenship, and fairness. The current conditions were found to be at high levels overall, whereas the desirable condition and needs for development were at the highest level, with the needs priorities listed as follows: (1) fairness, (2) citizenship, (3) responsibility, (4) respect and (5) trust, respectively. The developed model was determined, assessed, and affirmed by seven experts fully qualified in the field as the most suitable, feasible and useful.
