Data analysis employed correlation coefficients and regression tests via SPSS. Findings: Results indicate a strong, positive, and significant relationship between psychological empowerment and organizational virtue with organizational loyalty. Together, psychological empowerment and organizational virtue explain 77% of the variance in organizational loyalty, while the components of psychological empowerment alone account for 79% of this variance. Among the empowerment components, self-efficacy and meaningfulness notably influence teachers’ organizational loyalty.Conclusion: The findings suggest that empowering managers and cultivating organizational virtues can enhance educational quality and boost teachers’ loyalty to the education system.
