The research method was descriptive-correlation. A total of 130 participants were enrolled by stratified sampling method from 3 hospitals. Data were collected using demographic information questionnaires, Ethical Leadership in Nursing, moral distress, and turnover intention. Then data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics by SPSS software version 16. The results showed that ethical leadership and all its components were at the desired level. Also, moral distress and intention to leave were moderate. There was a significant negative correlation between ethical leadership and all its dimensions with the turnover intention and moral distress. Also, there was a significant positive correlation between the variables of turnover intention and the moral distress.

The present research is a correlational-analytical study in terms of applied purpose. The statistical sample size is 196 people. Data analysis was performed using structural equations through smartpls3 software.

According to the software output, the probability statistic for the ethical leadership mediator variable is 8.475, which is greater than the critical value of the absolute value of 1.96. System-based strategies affect organizational performance by mediating the role of ethical leadership. According to the software output, the probability statistic for the mediating variable of moral leadership is 7.729. Human-centered strategies affect organizational performance by mediating the role of ethical leadership. According to the software output, the probability statistics for the ethical leadership mediator variable is equal to 9.075. In the health system as a knowledge-based organization, managers must plan to implement a system to evaluate the desired knowledge performance. On the other hand, ethical leaders use their potential capacities and abilities through the application of knowledge among employees to achieve organizational goals by establishing two-way communication with employees, and motivating them and placing rewards and punishments for employees in performing organizational tasks and activities.

Abstract
Promoting an ethical culture is crucial for ensuring job commitment and competent clinical care among nurses. Ethical culture encompasses shared understandings and perceptions that guide ethical conduct within an organization. Job commitment reflects an individual's psychological and emotional attachment to their job. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between ethical culture and job commitment among nurses working in educational and medical centers affiliated with Hamadan University of Medical Sciences. This descriptive correlational study included 170 nurses selected from teaching hospitals in Hamadan using the Morgan table and based on inclusion criteria. Data were collected using demographic questionnaires, the Gobel et al. Ethical Culture Questionnaire, and the Schaufeli Job Commitment Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 22 software. A significant and positive correlation was found between ethical culture and nurses' job commitment (r=0.42, p<0.05). Ethical culture was significantly higher among nurses with more work experience and female nurses compared to their counterparts. Additionally, job commitment was significantly higher among male nurses and those with formal employment status. The findings demonstrate a strong positive correlation between ethical culture and job commitment among nurses. Enhancing ethical culture within healthcare settings through effective leadership, clear ethical guidelines, and open communication channels can significantly improve job satisfaction and, ultimately, patient care. Further research is needed to explore the specific factors that contribute to ethical culture within different healthcare contexts.
