This study employed a non-experimental quantitative design   which naturally measured the occurrence of variables. Specifically, the descriptive research design and cross-sectional assessments was used to describe the relationship of teachers’ ethical climate and organizational commitment. This paper analyzed the relationship between ethics and organizational commitment through a questionnaire survey of 226 teachers in higher vocational colleges. the assessment of the prevailing ethics, which included dominant characteristicsics, commitment to organizational leadership, employees’ relationships, and success achievement, was correlated with the assessment of organizational commitment based on commitment to the school's vision, commitment to the mission profession, commitment to teaching, and commitment to the work group.The correlation coefficients were positive, indicating that as the assessment of prevailing ethics increases, so does the assessment of organizational commitment, and vice versa.
