The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the mediating role of intentional organizational forgetting in the relationship between distributed leadership and organizational flourishing among elementary school teachers in Aslandooz city. The research employed a descriptive-correlational design of the structural equation modeling (SEM) type. The statistical population consisted of 254 elementary school teachers in Aslandooz, from which, based on Morgan’s table, 153 individuals were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using the Distributed Leadership Questionnaire, the Organizational Flourishing Questionnaire, and the Intentional Organizational Forgetting Questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was employed for data analysis. The results indicated that the direct effect of distributed leadership on organizational flourishing was statistically significant. Moreover, the indirect effect of distributed leadership on organizational flourishing through the mediating variable of intentional organizational forgetting was also significant, indicating a positive impact of distributed leadership on organizational flourishing. Additionally, the path coefficient between distributed leadership and intentional organizational forgetting revealed a positive influence of distributed leadership on intentional organizational forgetting.
