Abstract

Faculty members play an essential role in university and society and cannot be ignored. The purpose of this study was to assess the causal relationships between organizational socialization and ethical behavior and responsibility with the mediating role of organizational identity among faculty members of Islamic Azad University branches in the West Azarbaijan. The study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational in terms of nature and method. The statistical population was comprised of all 695 full-time faculty members in 13 university branches. The Krejcie-Morgan table was used to select 263 people for data collection through proportional stratified random sampling.  Four standard questioners were used to gather data, including Taormina’s organizational socialization, Ashforth and Mail’s organizational identity, Swanson and Hill's ethical behavior, and Hatchwar’s Responsibility questionnaires. The content and construct validity of the questionnaires were confirmed and their reliability was found to be at an adequate level using Cronbach's alpha. The results showed a significant and positive relationship between organizational socialization and responsibility and ethical behavior through the mediating role of organizational identity. As a result, organizational socialization, both directly and indirectly through the mediation of organizational identity, can affect the responsibility and ethical behavior of faculty members.
