Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the influence of paternalistic leadership on organizational virtue
within the Dean's educational group. To achieve this goal, the study utilized paternalistic leadership,
including ethical, authoritarian, and benevolent leadership, and organisational virtueousness, including
optimism, trust, empathy, integrity, and forgiveness. Using a questionnaire including (125) workers of
Karbala Cement Company, a random sample of them was chosen for the study area. The correlation
coefficient (Person) was utilized, and the significance of the correlation link between the two variables
was determined using the (t) and (F) tests. The researcher found that paternalistic leadership
significantly influences organizational virtuousness, as determined by calculating the percentage
contribution of the independent variable to the dependent variable using (R2). The study suggests that
Karbala Cement Company prioritizes paternalistic leadership as a crucial aspect of its work and
organizational virtue.
