Abstract

Today human capital is considered as the main competitive advantage of organizations and it is also recognized as the key indicator of the success of organizations. In Iranian organizations, especially government agencies, there is a huge gap between employees and management and their demands. As a result of this gap, decisions are usually encountered with executive problems, as employees resist against decisions, and managers in turn do not trust employees and are reluctant to share decision making, all of which create a climate of mistrust in the organization. On the other hand, lack of employee’s motivation can have irreparable consequences for organizations, both in the short term and in the long run, and affect the quality of their products, or even give rise to issues such as turnover intention or absenteeism. In this regard, the issue of organizational commitment is also highly important because sometimes under the shadow of distrust, members of the organization intend to leave the organization and find another job. Therefore, a study of attitudes can offer valuable insights to managers to better understand of employees in the organization. In this context, organizational virtue has an important effects in organizations. The feeling of working in a virtue-based organization may encourage employees to do their jobs for something greater than material rewards or career progress including personal satisfaction or simply pleasure derived from implementation of a good job.
