Biological Teachers’ Citizenship Behavior: A Confirmatory Study Involving the Effect of School Leadership and Integrity

Abstract

Teachers’ integrity pays important role in school organization which include honesty. To be honest is difficult for some people including biological teachers in teaching the truth of biological concept. How integrity could be used as mediated factor between school leadership and teachers’ citizenship behavior (CB) was a research problem. A causal survey, therefore, used on this research by taking 100 senior high school biological teachers. Data collected by administrating three instruments which measured teachers’ CB, school leadership and integrity and data analyzed by applying path analysis. Research findings showed that teachers’ CB directly and significantly affected by school leadership, in this case, integrity was not positively found to be good as mediated variable between school leadership and teachers’ CB. Therefore, when teachers performance would like to be well managed then factors such as school leadership could be improved as part of doing continuous improvement for increasing school quality by considering biological teachers’ performance.
