Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the poisonous leadership of teachers and the organizational silence of teachers with the mediation of the organizational culture of elementary schools in Khorramabad. The research method is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the study was all the elementary teachers of Khorramabad city (including 1940 people). Using Krejcie and Morgan table, 320 people were selected as the statistical sample by stratified random sampling method. The instruments used to collect the data were the Poison Leadership Questionnaire (2008), the Vendin Organizational Silence Questionnaire (2003) and the Hofstede Organizational Culture Questionnaire (1967). The results showed that based on the calculated information for the GOF index, all the hypotheses were between 0.1 and 0.35 for the research hypothesis indicating the moderate model of processing. The path coefficient between poisonous leadership and organizational silence (0.066) is not significant because the calculated value for the t statistic (0.0434) at the error level α = 0.05 is less than the critical t value (1.96). On the other hand, the indirect effect of poisonous leadership and organizational silence with the mediation of organizational culture (0.564 r 0.430 = 0.242) was greater than the direct effect of poisonous leadership and organizational silence (0.066). Therefore, it is understood that the poisonous leadership of the organization influences the organizational culture mediated by the elementary schools of Khorramabad.
