“Competition”, “growth” and “profit making” in today’s organizations is extremely worrying. This concern is caused by organizations crossing the red line of ethics. People’s distrust of managers and organizations due to their inattention to legal aspects and ethical principles makes it necessary to strengthen morality in organizations. To deal with this problem, first, the identification of the aspects and the components of professional ethics and then the presentation of the model of establishing professional ethics in organizations are required. This is while scientific achievements in recent decades have failed to present a clear model in this regard. Another point which is of paramount importance is that the models presented in the West do not necessarily have correspondence with Iranian-Islamic concepts, values and customs and may be contradictory in some aspects. Also, there are no specific criteria for the coherent measurement of various aspects and evaluation of these models, especially when the models are designed and developed in the western culture. Using library-based method, the present paper has found five models of establishing professional ethics in organizations as well as a set of criteria indicating the comprehensiveness of the models. Subsequently, using experts’ opinion in the field of organizational ethics and the technique of "fuzzy hierarchical analysis", the importance of the criteria and the identified models were discussed. Considering the experts’ shared opinions in prioritizing the criteria and the options, the modified and improved Husseini and Abbasi model can be chosen as the ideal model for Iran’s organizations.
