Flexibility dimension of philosophical mentality of managers affects the morale of the professors, with a 95% confidence level (alpha 0.05), a null hypothesis is rejected and the opposite assumption is confirmed. Considering the above issues, the main hypothesis of the research about the effect of the philosophical mentality of managers on the morale of the professors, the null hypothesis is rejected and the opposite assumption is confirmed that means, the philosophical mentality of managers is effective on the morale of the professors. According to the results and findings of the research, it is suggested that: 1. for the use of educational managers, more precision and attention and standard comprehensive test should be used. 2. given that rapid technological changes have created new organizations (educational organizations with different work environments), we need managers with insight and philosophical thinking that will increase the professors' morale. 3.

educational system or at the lower levels of educational system can be effective on the performance or job satisfaction of professors.
