Data were collected using standard questionnaire from Cheraghi et al. (1998). After collecting the questionnaires, data were analysed by mean, standard deviation, etc. using Spss-21 software and statistical inference through structural equation modelling using LISREL-v8.80. The technical characteristics of the questionnaire including reliability, convergent validity, and divergent validity were investigated. In addition, path coefficients and software significant coefficients were used to investigate the research hypotheses. Finally, the findings of the study confirmed the impact of virtuous leadership in predicting job aspiration, job satisfaction and innovative behaviors based on organizational commitment, organizational climate and management strategies.
