To evaluate this, the conceptual model base on subject literature was designed and research hypotheses base onconceptual model were proposed. Then to examine the hypotheseshas been used from data of the ninety-four questionnaires that they were relevant to research population and also method of Structure Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed there is a positive and meaningful relation between ethics and knowledge conversion process. Also, among the knowledge conversion process dimensions, socialization, externalization and combination have direct and meaningful connection with ethics while internalization doesn’t.
