ABSTRACT
This study explores the complex interplay between employee compensation systems and professional ethics within the healthcare sector. Utilizing both descriptive and survey research methodologies, the research focused on 292 employees selected from a larger population of 1,218 working in Tehran’s teaching hospitals. Data were collected via two validated questionnaires, with Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients of 0.92 for the compensation system and 0.86 for professional ethics. Advanced statistical techniques, including Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis via Smart PLS 2 and SPSS, were employed to test the study's hypotheses. The findings demonstrate a significant and direct influence of compensation systems and their components on professional ethical behavior among staff. Furthermore, proposed modifications to existing compensation systems contributed positively to enhancing professional ethics.
