Текст научной статьи The role of organizational culture in the emergence of teachers’ professional ethics
Due to the increasing speed of organizations and the complexity of the organizational environment, the role of employees has become more vital and serious [1]. Therefore, new indicators should be developed for organizations to have a suitable response to global needs and provide a suitable environment for employees to be able to have the best skills. For this purpose, behavioral and ethical management of employees has become a very important issue in organizations

today [2]. On the other hand, the increasing complexity of organizations and increasing the amount of work that is unethical and outside the law in the workplace, has made it necessary for managers to improve professional ethics in all organizations [3]. Employees’ professional ethics can increase their greater commitment and responsibility, increase productivity, improve communication, reduce risk and conflict, improve attitudes toward organizational change, and ultimately improve organizational performance [4]. However, the issue of professional ethics is less paid attention to in environments of our countryʼs work; while in advanced societies, in the sciences related to management and organization, there is a branch called professional ethics. However, in our religious community, especially in organizations, not enough attention has been paid to ethics [5]. Therefore, further research on improving ethics, especially in the field of professional ethics in the country is of great importance.
Given what has been said about the importance of professional ethics in organizations, it should be noted that the education system as a driver of social change, with social responsibility to students and society, has a key role in creating and promoting culture. Accordingly, addressing the issue of moral teachers and schools as an organizational priority and providing the grounds for such basic behaviors in schools, principals and teachers is a necessary and essential fact. Teachers, as one of the basic and effective pillars in the education of society and also, a key role in achieving the goals of organizational and social development, need to possess ethics in order to create and cultivate this trait among students. Therefore, addressing the issue of professional ethics among teachers to achieve the goals of educational organizations is considered as an organizational priority and providing the grounds for such basic behaviors in schools and teachers is a necessary reality1.
