While the Iranian community is perceived to be a religious and ethical community, the ethical challenges existing in the country's organizations suggest that ethics development cannot be achieved solely through preaching and promotional activities; whereas, it requires the development of a formal organizational ethics system and formal ethics programs. Nowadays, organizations have concluded that in addition to economic attempts (maximizing profits), ethical orientation must be adopted, so that a combination of economic and ethical processes can be their only option for achieving organizational goals. The ethical plans and ethical environment of an organization affect a wide range of organizational, group and individual variables. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of organizational ethics programs on job satisfaction through perceived corporate social responsibility and ethical environment. The statistical population of the research were governmental organizations based in Tehran. A sample of 77 governmental organizations was studied using random sampling method and questionnaires. Findings indicate that ethical programs contribute to the development of ethical environment and perceived corporate social responsibility. Ethical environment also enhances the perception of corporate social responsibility and job satisfaction of the employees. Moreover, ethical plans promote the perception of corporate social responsibility through ethical environment. Finally, relevant suggestions for developing ethical plans and strengthening the ethical environment of the organization are presented.
