| Summary: | This study aims at investigating the relationship between work ethics and perception of equality among the faculty members and staff of Islamic Azad Universities. The research methodology was descriptive-correlational and the data was collected via field procedure. The statistical population consisted of all the faculty members and staff of Islamic Azad Universities (N=60000). The participants of the study were 800 faculty members and staff who were selected from among the population based on cluster random sampling. The sample size was determined using Morgan table. Out of the posted questionnaires, 569 were completed and returned by the participants. To assess work ethics and the ratio of perception of equality, a summarized version of Ali's questionnaire (1998) and Starvan's employees' perception of equality questionnaire (1996) were used, respectively. In order to confirm the validity of the questionnaires, the researchers submitted them to some professors in the department of Theology and Islamic Thoughts as well as to some other experts. Subsequently, the experts' opinions regarding all the questionnaire items were applied in modifying the scales. The reliability of the scales in a sample group, using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, was calculated 0.83 and using test-retest method, it was 0.76. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Qualitative data was described using percentage and frequency counts and quantitative data was illustrated using indices of central tendency and variance. Besides, based on the objectives of the study and data type, Pearson's correlation coefficient was used as inferential statistics. The results showed that, out of the maximum mean score of 5 for work ethics, the participants' mean score was 4.09 with the standard deviation of 0.48. The participants' mean score of perception of equality was 2.80 with the standard deviation of 0.70, out of maximum mean score of 5. The results of hypothesis tests revealed a positive correlation (r=0.280) between work ethics and perception of equality among the faculty members and staff of (all participants) Islamic Azad University. |
