This research is a descriptive-correlational study that has been conducted in the field. The statistical population of this study consisted of all physical education teachers in Sari (N = 190). Statistical sample was determined using G-Power software 118 people who were selected by simple random sampling. Parker & Heath (2011), Brown Ethical Leadership, Torino Harrison (2005) and Holbrook (2005) Family Facilitation Questionnaires were used to collect data after validation and reliability. Data were analyzed using the partial least squares method.
The results showed that ethical leadership has a positive and significant effect on work-family facilitation and job well-being. Ethical leadership style also indirectly affects job well-being through work-family facilitation.
