Examining the effect of employees' perceptions of authentic leadership and organizational ethical climate on their work engagement is critical for increasing both individual and organizational success, especially in the education sector. While authentic leadership can support employees' trust, motivation and work engagement; an ethical organizational climate can strengthen employees' responsibilities and also their work engagement. Examining how teachers' perceptions of authentic leadership and organizational ethical climate shape their work engagement can contribute to the sustainable growth of educational organizations. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of teachers' perceptions of authentic leadership and organizational ethical climate working in Adıyaman on their work engagement. For this purpose, an empirical study was conducted on 390 teachers. As a result of the study in which quantitative method was used, it was found that "caring" and "rules", the sub-dimensions of organizational ethical climate perception, had a significant and positive effect on work engagement. Other sub-dimensions of organizational ethical climate perception did not have a significant effect on work engagement. In addition, it was found that "rational transparency", one of the sub-dimensions of authentic leadership perception, had a significant and positive effect on work engagement.
