ABSTRACT

The study aimed to investigate the impact of the pandemic on physical education teachers and coaches in Beijing, China. A sample of 132 teachers was selected using random sampling. A survey questionnaire was developed to collect data on ethical leadership practices, social justice outcomes, and equity outcomes in physical education programs. The Likert-type scale measured the perceived role of program administrators in promoting ethical leadership. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, Pearson-R, the t-test, and ANOVA to test hypotheses. The study examined the correlation between ethical leadership and social justice in physical education programs. The results indicated that there was no significant correlation found between perceptions of ethical leadership and social justice promotion. This suggests that variations in individuals' perceptions of ethical leadership were not strongly linked to variations in their perceptions of social justice promotion.
