Abstract
The ethical characteristics of human resource managers play a fundamental role in the success and sustainability of organizations. The present study, with the aim of providing a comprehensive picture of these characteristics, used the meta-synthesis method and the seven-step model of Sandusky and Barroso (2006) to analyze previous research. By reviewing studies published between 2014 to 2024 in domestic sources and 2000 to 2024 in foreign sources, 53 relevant articles were selected for the final analysis. The results showed that the ethical characteristics of human resource managers are categorized into three main dimensions including personal ethical characteristics, ethics towards others and ethics towards the organization. In this study, 85 codes, 33 concepts and 3 main categories were extracted, which provide a systematic framework for understanding and developing professional ethics in human resource management. It was also found that these characteristics have a direct impact on employee commitment, organizational productivity and the creation of an ethical culture.
