With the increasing reliance on computer and Internet, the danger of cybercrime attacks was increased. This research paper aims to evaluate the effect of studying computer ethics and computer ethics rules and regulations on computer ethics at work. A self-administrated questionnaire was designed for data collection. The data was collected from 374 responds working in private and public sectors. The results showed a strong correlation between studying computer ethics and computer ethics rules and regulations, a strong correlation between studying computer ethics and computer ethics at work, and a moderate correlation between computer ethics rules and regulations and computer ethics at work. The gender and age have statistically significant effect on computer ethics at work, while education level and job position have no statistically significant effect on computer ethics at work. According to the respond’s opinions, this paper recommends giving intensively interest in educating the computer ethics modules, to all levels of education as well as organizing continuous learning workshops to employees for all job positions, to increase awareness against computer crimes.
