چکیده

اخلاق بخشی جدایی ناپذیر از فرهنگ سازمان‌های عمومی است و طراحی یک سازمان اخلاقی مستلزم تجزیه و تحلیل سیستماتیک تمام جنبه های فرهنگ سازمان و همسوسازی آنها به گونه ای است که از رفتار اخلاقی حمایت کرده و از رفتارهای غیراخلاقی جلوگیری کند. از این منظر هدف مقاله پیش‌رو تبیین چهارچوب فرهنگ اخلاقی در سازمان های عمومی با روش فراترکیب است. در این پژوهش بمنظور دستیابی به هدف تحقیق از روش پژوهش کیفی استفاده شده و از حیث هدف در دسته مطالعات توسعه ای قرار میگیرد. جامعه پژوهش مشتمل بر مقالات منتشره معتبر در نشریات علمی جهان بوده که پس از غربالگری 41 مقاله انتخاب گردیده است. بنابراین در گام نخست با بهره گیری از روش فراترکیب به استخراج مولفه های چهارچوب فرهنگ اخلاقی مشتمل بر پیشایندها، پیامدها و تهدیدکننده های فرهنگ اخلاقی پرداخته شده و در گام دوم جهت دسته بندی داده ها و شناسایی دقیق‌تر مولفه های موثر از تکنیک تحلیل تم استفاده شده است. یافته های این مقاله به شناسایی 25 مولفه پیشایندی، 17 پیامد و 8 تهدیدکننده فرهنگ اخلاقی در سازمان های عمومی انجامیده است. نتایج پژوهش حکایت از آن دارد که جهت استقرار موثر فرهنگ اخلاقی در سازمان های عمومی بایستی اهداف کوتاه مدت از طریق اهداف بلند مدت سازمان(اصلاح فرهنگ اخلاقی) دنبال گردیده و محقق گردند.
