In order to collect the required data for testing research hypotheses, a researcher-made questionnaire of ethical leadership and permissive leadership whose reliability and validity were confirmed respectively as 0.79 and 0.86 was used. In addition, Allen and Meyer s (1990) Emotional Commitment Questionnaire was used with a reliability of 0.80. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS Software. Regression analysis was used to test research hypotheses; independent samples t-test and ANOVA were used to investigate the role of demographic variables in the comments of the respondents; and k-s Test was used to investigate the normal distribution of data.
