Abstract
This study examines the mediating role of organizational identity in the relationship between teacher perceptions of an elementary school principal’s integrity and teacher self-reported commitment to the school, citizenship behavior, and job satisfaction. I surveyed 632 elementary teachers who were members of a Northwest Florida teachers union. Of this number, 192 filled out a web survey or returned a mail survey by prepaid post (a 30% response rate). The first section of the survey measured perceived integrity of the elementary school principal. The second section included questions that examined teacher attitudes and behaviors regarding organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and job satisfaction. The mediating effects of organizational identity were tested using the methods proposed by Baron and Kenny (1986). Results indicated that organizational identity was a full mediator between perceived integrity and OCB. Organizational identity partially mediated the relationship between perceived integrity and organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.
