This study aimed to investigate the effects of organizational climate and work ethics on junior high school teachers' professional development. The research method was descriptive and correlational, following structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all junior high school teachers in the city of Kabudarahang (N=420), out of which 201 subjects were chosen by using Morgan table and relative stratified random sampling. The research data was collected by administering the three standard questionnaires of organizational climate, work ethics and professional development. The values of Cronbach's alpha as the reliability measure were .85, .94 and .84 for the three questionnaires of organizational climate, work ethics and professional development, respectively.
