Abstract

The present study was developed through a reflection exercise on the elements that contribute to strengthen the quality of education in Ecuador, from the actions taken by the authorities, teachers and students; its theoretical framework of analysis consisted in the Positive Psychology applied to school as a virtuous organization. The objective tried to identify profiles of school organizations perceived as virtuous, associated with the levels of authentic leadership found in their authorities. It was used a non-probability sample of 209 educational authorities through the application of scales of virtuosity perceived in educational organizations and authentic leadership, and also in authorities adapted to Ecuadorian contexts. First of all, the current correl ation between the dimensions of perceived virtuosity in school organizations and the dimensions of authentic leadership in authorities was established; afterwards, through the use of techniques of k and
univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA), two levels of authentic leadership and two profiles of virtuous school organizations related to those levels of leadership were identified, thus: 1) virtuous school organizations with authentic leaderships strengthened in their authorities; and, 2) school organizations on the way to virtuosity, with authentic leaderships in tandem with the authorities.
