Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to examine the mediating role of unethical behavior in the effect of stock option on organizational commitment.

A very weak negative relationship was detected between the Organizational Commitment scale score and the Unethical Behaviors total score. A moderate positive relationship was detected between the Employee Satisfaction score regarding Impact and Ownership and the total score of Organizational Commitment. Additionally, it was determined that Unethical Behaviors significantly predicted Organizational Commitment scores.
