The aim of this study was to investigate the role of cultural capital in the tendency to government work. The method of the present study is descriptive and the study population was 384 public sector employees in Tehran who were selected based on multi-stage cluster sampling. The questionnaires used in this study are Bourdieu's standard questionnaire of cultural capital and the researcher-made questionnaire oriented towards government jobs. Findings obtained from research questionnaires were analyzed by SPSS21 software and statistical tests of linear regression, Pearson correlation and partial correlation. The results showed that cultural capital influences the tendency to do government work. There is no significant relationship between embodied and objectified cultural capital and the tendency to government work, but there was a significant relationship between institutionalized cultural capital and the tendency to government work. Also, it was observed that cultural capital due to the economic and family context affects the tendency to government work, but cultural capital due to the social context did not affect the tendency to government work.
