Presenting a Model of Professional Ethics in the Social Security Organization
Keywords:
Model, professional ethics, Social Security OrganizationAbstract
One of the most critical variables for the success of any organization is adherence to ethics. Professional ethics comprise a set of standard principles in human behavior that govern the actions of individuals and groups. The aim of the present study is to propose a model of professional ethics within the Social Security Organization. This research is classified as applied in terms of its objective, and survey-based in terms of strategy. The statistical population of the study includes managers of the Social Security Organization during the years 2023–2024. A cluster sampling method will be used to select participants from among the managers of the Social Security Organization. In this study, determining the minimum required sample size before collecting data related to structural equation modeling is highly important. According to Boomsma, the minimum sample size should be 200 cases, and based on Stevens' view—due to the similarity of structural equation modeling to multiple regression—fifteen cases can be considered for each predictor variable. This study is conducted in a survey format using a questionnaire as the data collection tool. Appropriate statistical methods, including structural equation modeling, will be employed for data analysis. The results indicated that the current research can serve as a practical guide for the managers of the Social Security Organization in designing and implementing a professional ethics model, thereby contributing to the improvement of organizational performance. By identifying the factors influencing professional ethics, suitable educational and developmental programs can be designed for employees and managers.
