This study developed and tested a structural model of elementary school teachers’ moral-psychological processes by examining the associations among goal values, moral resilience, moral relativism, and other-oriented moral injury. Moral resilience was conceptualized as two dimensions: adversity response and relational integrity. Data were collected from 622 public elementary school teachers in Taiwan through a cross-sectional survey and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results showed that goal values were positively associated with both adversity response and relational integrity. Adversity response was positively associated with relational integrity, but not significantly associated with other-oriented moral injury. Relational integrity was positively associated with moral relativism. Goal values were also indirectly associated with moral relativism through relational integrity alone and through the sequential pathway of adversity response and relational integrity. By contrast, most direct and indirect pathways involving other-oriented moral injury were nonsignificant, suggesting that such experiences may be shaped by broader institutional and contextual factors. Overall, the findings suggest that elementary school teachers’ moral-psychological processes can be understood through a sequential pathway linking goal values, adversity response, relational integrity, and moral relativism. Moral relativism may reflect teachers’ contextual sensitivity and consideration of multiple perspectives in ethical judgment, whereas other-oriented moral injury appears to be a more multifaceted and context-dependent psychological risk experience. The findings have implications for teacher education, teacher support systems, and the development of ethical school environments. |
