Introduction: Ethical climate determines how to make decisions in the organization based on ethical criteria leading to employee’s satisfaction and quality of service. In a stressful environment of an operating room, the survey of the ethical climate can help to promote surgery properly. Furthermore, organizational commitment is one of the factors which determines the criteria for ethical decision making
Objective This study aimed to determine the correlation between ethical climate and organizational commitment from the viewpoints of operating room technologists and anesthesia technologists in hospitals affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences.
Material and Methods: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was performed on 161 operating room and anesthesia technologists working in the training hospitals of Iran University of Medical Sciences in 2019 by survey sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire. The material consisted of three parts including demographic information, the ethical climate of Victor and his colleague, and the organizational commitment of Allen and his colleague. To analyse the data, descriptive and analytical statistics including Mean and Pearson’s correlation test were used (SPSS 20) the significance level was considered less than 0.05.
Results: The mean age of the subjects was 33.02 ± 7.18 years, ranging from 23 to 53 years old; 71.4% were females; 24.3% had undergraduate education and the rest were college students. The working experience of subjects was at most in the range of 1 to 5 years (41.6%).  The most frequent field of specialization was general surgery (21.1%).The strongest ethical climate and organizational commitment were associated with "professionalism" and "continued commitment”, respectively.  The result of Pearson’s test showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between ethical climate and organizational commitment. (P=0.002 and R=0.237). Moreover, a significant relationship was found between its dimensions (P<0.05)
Discussion and Conclusion: The results of present study help hospital managers to identify the ethical climate and organizational commitment, administer curricula to institutionalize ethics, and ultimately enhance organizational commitment and sustain human capital.
