Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between professional ethics and components of conflict management in high school principals in western Mazandaran province. This research was conducted by descriptive-correlation method. The statistical population included all high school principals in the west of Mazandaran province who were selected by means of Morgan table with a sample of 152 persons based on relative stratified random sampling method. Data collection tools were Bahagir Professional Ethics Questionnaire (2011) and Putnam and Wilson (1982) Conflict Management Style Questionnaire. Data analysis using Pearson correlation coefficient showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between professional ethics with competitive and non-cooperative conflict style (P <0.05). Also, there was a positive and significant relationship between professional ethics and the style of conflict, cooperation, and compromise (P <0.05). The results of this study show that in the study of low-yield organizations, the decline of professional ethics can be considered as an effective factor in conflict management and productivity reduction.
