Abstract

In today's working environment, the most important criterion in ensuring corporate sustainability is seen as the human factor. It is very important for the employees to concentrate on the work in order to provide high outputs for the work in the workplaces, to carry out the business activities efficiently and to adapt to the competitive environment of today's businesses. A questionnaire form was developed to collect data. The universe of the study consists of employees in Adıyaman, Gaziantep and Adana. The sample consists of 222 employees who agreed to fill out the questionnaire. The process macro program was used to test the hypotheses. As a result of the analyzes made, it was found that ethical responsibility affects the employees’ work vigor, the employees’ work vigor affects the employees’ work absorption, and ethical responsibility affects the work absorption. In addition, it has been determined that there is a partial mediation effect of employees' work vigor in the effect of ethical responsibility on work absorption. It is recommended that future studies be carried out in different regions and different cultures.
