Ethical Leadership in the Post-COVID-19 Era for Educational Organizations

Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyze the characteristics of organizational commitment and affective states to carry out the ethical leadership required in educational centers in the post-COVID-19 era. Recapitulating, the crisis by COVID-19 marked a before and after, where the educational sector adopted distance education through the application of different technological tools and maintaining distance learning. In addition, educational centers were led by adopting different leadership styles, together with training and experiences that supported the implementation of actions to ensure access to online education. However, it was also demonstrated that organizational commitment was affected by the pandemic, causing ruptures in the relationships with the members of the educational organizations, generating distrust and lack of collaboration, hence the importance of reinforcing ethical leadership in each educational institution today.
