Abstract :
This study aimed at exploring the relationship of work ethics to staffs’ job satisfaction and job stress. This descriptive (correlational) study sampled 216 respondents from among a total of 482 staffs working in Vocational and Technical Education Centers in Tehran city using cluster sampling strategy in accordance with Morgan’s table. Research instruments included three questionnaires of 1. work ethics, 2. job satisfaction (Robbins 1991), 3. job stress (Sotodeh, 2003). Data were analyzed using Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple regression analyses. The findings revealed that there was a statistically positive relationship between the staffs’ perception of the work ethics and their job satisfaction. However, the relationship between their perception and job stress was found to be statistically negative. Regression analyses further indicated that the three dimensions of work ethics (attachment, seriousness, and healthy relations) could predict job satisfaction. They also demonstrated that attachment and seriousness were significant predictors of job stress
