Journal Title: Management and Business Research Quarterly - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the relationship between professional ethics perception and social responsibility and employees’ productivity in the General of Road and Urban Development in Isfahan, Iran. All 388 participants in the present study were employees of the Department of Road and Urban Development in Isfahan. Among them, 193 employees were selected as sample using Cochran sample size formula and stratified random sampling. Data was collected through three questionnaires; Professional Ethics Questionnaire (Cadozir, 2002), Productivity Questionnaire (Hersey, Blanchard & Goldsmith, 1980), and Social Responsibility Questionnaire (Gylbers, 2010). The Validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by using the comments of the supervisor and some members of the population. The reliability coefficient for three questionnaires was estimated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. In order to analyze the data, descriptive and inferential statistics including Pearson correlation coefficient, multiple regression, and multi-way ANOVA tests were used. Results showed that there was a significant relationship between professional ethics and its aspects with social responsibility (p<0.01, r=0.50) and also between professional ethics and its aspects with productivity (p<0.01, r=0.602). Furthermore, Stepwise regression analyses showed that in the first step among aspects of professional ethics, competitiveness and striving for superiority and in the second step justice and fairness were the best predictors of productivity and social responsibility. Considering respondents' views, there was a significant difference in professional ethics based on the degree of education and work experience. However, based on demographic factors there was no significant difference in productivity and social responsibility.
