Developing Moral Capital in Schools

Abstract

An abundance of models and approaches have been formed to develop school effectiveness. Schools have been analyzed with respect to psychological, sociological, cultural and administrative dimensions. Social and cultural capitals- as the recently developed nonmonetary forms of capital-have been investigated with respect to school organizations. Nonetheless so far there has been no in-depth research on moral capital in schools as an original concept. In the present research, the concept of moral capital has been defined; and the interrelationship between the development of moral environment at schools and moral capital as well as moral leadership has been analysed.
