A Study on Using Code of Work Ethics to Assess the Academicians’ Ethicality

Abstract

One of the most ignored areas or parts of educational research is ethical considerations. However, understanding ethics and putting it into practice may be necessary for the common good of human survival and sustainability. Every club, community, or profession in modern society assigns and establishes its own set of norms or ethical code of behavior for everyone's convenience. It becomes a common practice for all to follow, and it is assumed that one must be educated and aware in order to follow such norms in order for human existence to run smoothly. This paper tried to determine which factors, have an impact on academicians' ethical principles and even investigated the employees’ perspectives of ethics at work with help of SPSS software and PLS-SEM for regression weights calculation. Regression analysis suggested that factors like compensation delay, hardwork, ethics and self reliance have the positive impact on the affective commitment and job satisfaction. Suggestions are made for strengthening university ethics standards and for future research.
