The aim of the research was to investigate the role of resonant leadership on the quality of virtual school education mediated by the innovative work behavior of teachers. The study population consisted of all secondary school teachers in Hamedan province during the academic year 2021-2022 (N=1797). A sample of 316 teachers was chosen through proportional stratified random sampling, following Cochran's formula. This descriptive correlational research employed the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. Data collection utilized Wagner's Resonant Leadership Questionnaire (2010), Janssen's Innovative Work Behavior Scale (2000), and a researcher-developed questionnaire on the quality of virtual education in schools. A significant finding of the study indicates that the indirect effect of resonant leadership on the quality of virtual education, mediated by innovative work behavior, surpasses its direct effect. Therefore, school leaders are advised to capitalize on teachers' innovative behaviors to enhance the quality of virtual education and cultivate an environment that values teachers' ideas and creativity more than strict adherence to rules and regulations.
