Abstract:

Organizations are at different ethical levels and employees have different perceptions of how ethical their organizations are. These perceptions can affect their job attitudes and behaviors. However, the question of how the ethical perceptions of employees in their organizations can affect their job attitudes and behaviors is an issue that has not been adequately addressed by research. Among the strategic publics that organizations face, employees are undoubtedly the group with which organizations have the closest connection. The relationship between an organization and its employees is at the center of what makes an organization effective. The question of how employees can have a direct relationship with an organization seems suspicious to some. However, from a public relations perspective, these relations involve both direct and indirect effects on the other. Sense of belonging is fundamental to employees, and the workplace acts as a kind of community where many people experience a true sense of belonging. If employees perceive that the organization encourages and encourages ethical behavior and prevents unethical behavior by disapproval, they may feel more connected and dedicated to the organization. The purpose of this research is to reveal the relationship between perceived organizational ethics and employees’ relationships with the organization and their sense of belonging. The results of the study reveal that organizational ethics perceived by employees have a positive effect on employees’ relationships with the organization and their sense of belonging. Furthermore, the relationship between employees and the organization has a mediating role in the relationship between employees’ perceived organizational ethics and employees’ sense of belonging.
