IMPACT OF ETHICS OF WORK ON JOB PERFORMANCE IN TECHNICAL COLLEGES IN SAUDI ARABIA

  The main objective of the paper was to find out if ethics of work can have an impact on an employee’s productivity and job performance. The researchers set out to develop a quantitative research by gathering data principally from sampled respondents from three different technical colleges in Saudi Arabia. Gathered data was tested to determine the significance of ethics of work on employee productivity and job performance. From the survey, two variables were eminent, namely: ethics of work (independent variable) and employee job performance (dependent variable). The study tested several hypotheses, and the results confirmed the positive impact of work ethics on job performance in all three sampled colleges. Results showed a significant difference of impact of ethics of work on different ages, management, religious and educational levels. The older the employee, senior and more educated, the more committed to work ethics and the higher the output. Keywords: ethics of work, productivity, job performance, Saudi Arabi
