Abstract

This study investigates the validity of Persian version of Multidimensional Work Ethic Profile (MWEP), and compares its outcome with the MWEP versions in other cultures. In 2007, this scale has been used as an international scale for measuring work ethic in English, Spanish and Korean cultures and its use in an Islamic culture helps to discern the extent of generality and comprehensiveness of the model. In this national research, the sample group consisted of 266 individuals who are staffs from Export Development Bank of Iran. In order to investigate to what extent the Persian version of MWEP measures the same values, a factor analysis is carried out. The results reveal that in Persian version this scale shows a close proximity to the MWEP in its English, Spanish and Korean versions, and 7 work ethic dimensions in these cultures applies to Persian version as well.
