Abstract

The dominance of professional ethics can significantly help organizations reduce organizational challenges and succeed in achieving their goals. Faculty members who play their academic roles at universities, can also play a critical ethical role as models for their students. For this reason, codes of ethics have been developed in many universities and higher educational institutes. In the meantime, organizational universities, having special aims and missions, hold specific status with regard to ethical principles. This research is aimed at proposing a comprehensive model for conceptualizing professional ethics of the professors of the organizational universities through qualitative approach and thematic analysis using Atlas T software. Having reviewed the literature on professional ethics and organizational universities, the researchers interviewed some experts including professors and managers of selected organizational universities. Analysis of the data resulted in the professional ethics model of faculty members of organizational universities containing six dimensions of educational competence, research competence, cultural-educational competence, administrative competence, commitment competence and advisory competence. These six dimensions are categorized and described under twelve components and 53 indicators. Finally the thematic network is designed.
