Based on this, the present research was conducted with the aim of presenting a model of factors affecting media ethics in television sports programs. This research was applied, quantitative and survey. The statistical population of this research was the employees of TV sports programs, and according to the large number of statistical population in the country and based on Cochran's formula, 384 people were randomly selected as a statistical sample. The tool of data collection in the present study was the standard questionnaire of Soltani et al. (2022). In order to analyze the data, two descriptive and inferential methods were used in SPSS23 and smartpls3.1.1 software environment. In the descriptive part, the demographic information of the subjects was described, and in the inferential part, the fitting of the model was done using the structural equation modeling test, as well as the examination of the model paths. All analyzes were performed at a significance level of 0.05. The research results showed that the research model has a good fit and individual, organizational and social factors have a significant effect on the media ethics of TV sports program employees.
