Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the role of employees’ work ethics in effectiveness of managers in Sport and Youth general office in Hamedan province. This study was descriptive correlation. Work Ethic Questionnaire of Gregory, C., Petty and Management Effectiveness Questionnaire of Jeffry et al. were used in this study. The statistical population consisted of all employees of Sport and Youth general office in Hamedan province in 2013 (N=150). Shapiro-Wilk test, Pearson correlation and stepwise regression were used. The findings revealed a direct and significant relationship between employees’ work ethics and 3 out of its 4 comprising factors (dependability, ambition and cooperation) and effectiveness of managers. But no significant relationship was found between consideration and the dependent variable. The results of stepwise regression showed that only dependability factor had the ability to predict the effectiveness of managers (23.6%) and other factors could not predict the variance related to the effectiveness of managers. Managers can predict a high effectiveness for managers in the organization through internalizing the role of ethical factors among the employees, specifically paying attention to the regression coefficient of employees’ dependability in explaining management effectiveness and having employees with such a decent feature.
