BackgroundThe level of commitment to jobs is the driver of how much a worker could offer to those that need the services. People become poised to deliver services when they hold the job in high esteem. Evidence abounds that some workers in public services barely value their professional responsibilities and conduct. This motivated the present researchers to test the impacts of rational emotive behavioral occupational intervention (REBOI) on the professional ethics and values of Staff in University Medical Centers.Methodsto achieve the above aim, a randomized control design was used. A total of 114 staff were recruited, assessed 3 times using 3 instruments, and coached by therapists. The coaching last for 12 sessions. The data collected were subjected to a multivariate statistical analysis to test how effective the intervention was in changing negative perceptions about values and ethics in workplaces.ResultsIt was found that REBOI changes negative perceptions about professional ethics and values among staff of medical centers. The effectiveness of the REBOI is not statistically influenced by gender and group interaction. Gender does not moderate the impact of the intervention.ConclusionThis study finally suggests that REBOI effectively changes negative perceptions about values and ethics among health workers. Thus, recommends for the advancement of Ellis' principles in other workplaces and across populations.Copyright © 2023 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
