. The aim of this study is to discover the relationship between organizational hypocrisy and principals’ narcissism at schools regarding the role of organizational silence and organizational rumor as exacerbating mediators in the prevalence of this anti-productive phenomenon at schools. The statistical population of this study consisted of all school teachers in Mashhad city of Iran. 136 teachers were selected as a sample using Cochran's formula. This research is applicative, in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational in terms of nature and method. The data collection tools are questionnaires. The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed using face and structural validity and the reliability was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. . The research findings showed that organizational hypocrisy has a direct and positive relationship with the organizational narcissism of the school principals and in the meantime organizational silence and organizational rumor play mediating roles in exacerbating the hypocrisy among school teachers and intensify anti-productive organizational behaviors. According to the confirmation of research hypotheses, suggestions have been made regarding how to choose and train the school principals and how to eliminate and reduce organizational narcissism and organizational hypocrisy at schools.
