The current research aims to demonstrate the role of self-awareness, an
independent variable represented by self-evaluation, self-confidence, selfreflection, and emotional awareness, in avoiding unethical behaviors in the
workplace, a dependent variable represented by misuse of time and resources,
theft, bribery and corruption, and withdrawal. The descriptive analytical
approach was adopted to present the theoretical aspect of the research, as well
as to analyses and interpret the obtained data. We used the questionnaire as
the primary tool to collect data from the Musayyib Technical Institute in
Babylon, the research organization, and randomly selected a sample of 122 to
retrieve the data. We selected 84 questionnaires for analysis and used the
SPSS programme to test the hypotheses and verify their validity. We
discovered that self-awareness plays a significant role in preventing unethical
behaviors in the workplace
