Provide a Model for the Role of Professional Ethics in Creating Strategic Advantage in the Administrative System

The strategic role of professional ethics in the success of the future of the organization is undeniable. Avoidance of professional ethics makes organizations severely vulnerable and harmful, and achieving professional ethics leads to strategic advantage. The purpose of this study is to provide a model of the role of professional ethics in creating strategic advantage in the public sector administrative system.               

The present study is mixed in terms of exploratory nature and applied purpose and in terms of data collection method. The statistical population is 250 people (from the elites, managers and deputies of the Tax Affairs Organization of the northern provinces of the country) who were selected using Morgan table and 163 people were randomly selected and answered the research questionnaires. To investigate the relationship between the variables, the structural equation modeling method was evaluated and validated using Pls software.

The research findings showed that there is a significant linear relationship between professional ethics and strategic advantage. The more professional ethics, the greater the strategic advantage. Professional ethics, through the mediation of knowledge management and social responsibility, increases the strategic advantage in the organization.

Therefore, organizations should provide the necessary bases for promoting social responsibility and knowledge management by observing and basing on the standards and principles of ethics and professionalism of the organization. The relationship between social responsibility and knowledge management with strategic advantage is expressed through the development of social strategies that affect and are influenced by opportunities, resources and facilities, skills and organizational competencies. Their survival, success, and therefore their strategic advantage depend on the capabilities and competencies that are one of these important organizational capabilities of knowledge management.
