چکیده
ترک خدمت کارکنان کلیدی در سازمانهای سرآمد به یکی از مهمترین نگرانیهای مدیران و رهبران تبدیل شده است که با تغییر نوع سبک رهبری و روابط مدیران و کارکنان میتوان تمایل به ترک خدمت کارکنان را تقلیل نمود. هدف از این تحقیق، بررسی تأثیر رهبری اخلاقی بر قصد ترک خدمت کارکنان با میانجیگری قانونشکنی خیرخواهانه و تبادل رهبر-پیرو است. روش تحقیق از نظر نوع هدف، کاربردی است. کارکنان سازمان تأمین اجتماعی تهران به تعداد 3200 نفر به عنوان جامعه انتخاب شدند که بر اساس نمونهگیری تصادفی خوشهای، 342 پرسشنامه مورد تحلیل قرار گرفتند. در این راستا از پرسشنامههای استاندارد استفاده شد که پایایی و روایی آن نیز در جریان پژوهش تأیید شد. دادهها با استفاده از روش مدلسازی معادلات ساختاری تحلیل شدند. نتایج نشان داد که سبک رهبری اخلاقی بر قصد ترک خدمت کارکنان تأثیر مستقیم و معناداری دارد و به واسطه متغیرهای میانجی رابطه رهبر پیرو و قانونشکنی خیرخواهانه میتواند به صورت غیرمستقیم بر تمایل به ترک خدمت کارکنان تأثیر معناداری داشته باشد. پژوهش حاضر میتواند نتایج مثبت زیادی به همراه داشته باشد و موجبات گسترش رهبری اخلاقی در سازمانها شود که زمینه افزایش ارتباطات بین مدیران و کارکنان را فراهم میسازد و همچنین منجر به دستیابی به اهداف عالی سازمان و کاهش قصد ترک خدمت کارکنان و جابجایی کارکنان میشود.

Social security managers should try to establish an ethical leadership style in the organization and create a friendly and cooperative atmosphere in the organization so that employees can strive to achieve organizational goals and not be afraid of existing obstacles. Also, strengthening relationships is one of the requirements of any organization, especially the social security providers, so that the employees who attract and hire and hold training courses for them do not want to leave the place of service and can bring the organization closer to its real vision with increasing efforts. Social security organizations can promote ethical decision-making among employees by providing clear guidance on the organization's values and ethical principles and encouraging employees to consider the potential consequences of their actions.
