    Our world is the world of organizations, and the main elements of it are people, they are the ones who give life to the body of organizations and make it possible to achieve goals. Without people, the organization is meaningless and management is an illusion. There may be a doubt that in the future world, when robots and machines will fill the place of humans in organizations, the role of humans in the organization will be diminished, but it will not be like this at all, and with the automation and mechanization of work, the type of human activities in the organization will change, and according to the scientist named Peter Drucker, craftsmanship will give way to scientific work. But the decisive role of man, as an organizational ruler, will continue to be established and sustainable (Moorhead and Griffin [1], 2005); quoted by Elwani and Memarzadeh, 2014). Many scientists believe that the nature of current societies is established and organized by organizations in different ways and with different goals, but without a doubt, all of them are managed and guided based on the physical and mental efforts of their human resources. In general, it can be said that efficient human resources are the main indicator of the superiority of an organization compared to other organizations. The presence of human resources committed to the organization can, in addition to reducing absenteeism, tardiness and relocation, significantly increase the performance of the organization, the morale of employees, and the better manifestation of the organization's lofty goals, as well as the achievement of individual goals. Dad, therefore, schools need more and more committed human resources, and the realization of the goals of education should be considered dependent on the efforts and efforts of teachers. But currently, it can be seen that the unfavorable situation of the teaching job in many countries has caused teachers to leave their jobs or their orientation to second jobs. Some teachers do their work at a high level and conscientiously, while others do not have much efficiency and do the work to the extent of completing the task and do not express interest and commitment towards the organization. Therefore, in order to employ and maintain them, appropriate criteria and conditions should be established so that their abilities can be used in educational and training activities, because satisfactory effort leads to more and more continuous commitment and ultimately to a better life for people and the development and progress of societies. Organizational values ??and movement towards the realization of organizational goals are derived. Greenberg and Baron (2000) also believe that the lack of commitment and failure to research and investigate the organizational commitment of employees leads to an increase in huge costs due to employee turnover (Saki et al., 2019, 88).Organizational commitment is one of the factors that affects the behavior of employees in the organization and affects many organizational variables, including the intention of employees to move, the level of their absence, as well as the conflict and job stress of people, and it determines whether employees stay or leave. But currently, it can be seen that the unfavorable situation of the teaching job in many countries has caused teachers to leave their jobs and the lack of attractiveness of the teaching job prevents the recruitment of distinguished graduates or causes teachers to tend to second jobs, which according to many scientists is mainly due to the unfavorable working conditions, salaries and lack of commitment (ibid). Therefore, paying attention to organizational commitment [2] and increasing the commitment of employees of education and training in Rasht District 1 also seems necessary.

    Commitment An organization means that a person considers an organization to be his representative. In fact, the results of the research show that, by using organizational commitment, it is better to predict the level of absenteeism and turnover of employees.

    Kyotam, Disk and Wagner [3] (2004) define organizational commitment as follows: "Attitude or orientation towards the organization, which connects the individual's identity to the organization (Rajabi Pourmibdi and Dehghani, 2015, 2015)". And Herzkovitch [4] (2002) also defines commitment as the willingness of people to spend their energy and loyalty to the social system (Nadi and Hazeghi 2012). A number of studies have tested the relationship between organizational commitment and some behavioral manifestations. A large number of findings point to the theory that employees with high commitment should be interested in spending more effort in doing their jobs. They are close to values ??and are seen as a tool that transforms values ??into action. (Daft [5], 2008). Experts consider work ethic to be the limit or value and dignity that each person believes in work. A strong work ethic implies the belief that hard work is the key to success and happiness. Researchers have found that a strong work ethic is associated with productivity, innovation, the need to achieve success, job satisfaction, and more income. And it is accompanied by more conservative beliefs (Rezaian, 2015). Since organizational ethics is considered as one of the fields of management knowledge and the application of ethics management in organizations not only has good direct and internal results, but also managers and employees having ethics and good behavior can strengthen work conscience, productivity and create a sense of interest in people towards work and organization and reduce leaving the organization and reduce costs, the appropriate behavior model of the manager in any organization causes strong morale and motivation in the employees and their level of satisfaction with It increases their job. Schepker (2001) also believes that ethical behavior can play a role in increasing job satisfaction and organizational commitment and increase commitment and decrease the intention to leave. (David, 1387). If the employees perceive the behavior of their managers as unethical, it causes the level of job satisfaction and organizational commitment to decrease and the intention to leave increases (Nadi and Hazaghi, 2012). A person whose job satisfaction is high and has a positive attitude towards his job, on the contrary, a person who is not satisfied with his work, has a negative attitude towards his work (Robbins, 2008, 394).

    B. Worley and his colleagues found that first, organizational commitment has a relationship with job satisfaction, absenteeism and turnover, and secondly, this relationship is inverse, the more organizational commitment, the less absenteeism and turnover. (B. Worley, 2001) Career, applying ethical behavior in the workplace will definitely bring organizational success, because the existence of strong motivation and proper job satisfaction is considered the first condition of success for any organization. From the point of view of Cater and Armstrong, effective executive devices are devices that the satisfaction of their employees is as important to them as the satisfaction of their clients. In such devices, employee satisfaction increases organizational commitment and increases efficiency. So, in order to fulfill their duties, in addition to complying with organizational and legal standards and rules, organizations should pay attention to their job satisfaction in order to help them achieve their goals as much as possible.
