Abstract

Objective: The current research was conducted to investigate the effect of organizational health on the professional ethics of employees with the mediating role of strategic human resources management.
Methodology: The descriptive research method was a correlation type with structural equation modeling, and the statistical population included all the employees of the General Directorate of Sports and Youth of Kermanshah province, a total of 238 people. For the necessary sample size, 149 people were selected by simple random sampling using the table of Karjesi and Morgan (1970). The data collection tools were the standard organizational health questionnaires of Hui et al. (1996), Cadozier's professional ethics (2002), and the strategic management of human resources by Chang and Hong (2005). All questionnaires' face and content validity were checked and confirmed with the opinion of supervisors and advisors, considering their standardization and widespread use in many studies, and their reliability was obtained using Cronbach's alpha coefficient above 0.70. Data analysis tools were the Pearson correlation coefficient, structural equation model, and path analysis using SPSS and AMOS software.
Results: The findings showed that in the research sample, organizational health is directly affected by the professional ethics of employees. Also, findings about the effect of strategic management of human resources on professional ethics prove that strategic management of human resources is a significant predictor for the professional ethics of employees. In addition, the results showed that all the correlation coefficients and path coefficients were statistically significant, and organizational health's effect on employees' professional ethics through strategic management of human resources is positive and significant.
Conclusion: Because the General Administration of Sports and Youth play a vital role in developing sports in the country, it needs more attention to professional ethics and its establishment factors, including strategic management of human resources and organizational health. Suppose this organization wants to benefit from growth. In that case, it must have employees and managers who pay special attention to its members' professional ethics, human resources, and organizational health.
