چکیده

پژوهش حاضر با هدف ارائۀ چهارچوبی برای سیاست‌گذاری اخلاقی در حکمرانی آموزش عالی براساس تمامیتِ حکمرانی انجام شده است. تمامیتِ حکمرانی، دیدگاهی یکپارچه، جامع و فراگیر به اخلاق در حکمرانی است که چهارچوب‌ مناسبی برای سیاست‌گذاری اخلاقی فراهم می‌کند. دانشگاه‌ها، همانند سایر سازمان‌های خردپایه، نیازمند توسعۀ اخلاقی تمامی بازیگران خود هستند. علاوه‌برآن، حکمرانی ناظر بر مشارکت تمامی ذی‌نفعان و توجه به نظام تصمیم‌گیری در عالی‌ترین سطح سیاست‌گذاری است.
برای تبیین سیاست‌گذاری اخلاقی مبتنی بر تمامیت در حکمرانی، از رویکرد کیفی و روش مرور روایتی استفاده شد که در چهار گام انجام می‌شود. جامعۀ پژوهش تمامی اسناد علمی پایگاه‌های علمی داخلی و خارجی بوده که تعداد 114 سند بررسی اولیه شد و در نهایت 40 شاهد علمی برای نمونه استخراج شد. به‌منظور تحلیل یافته‌ها از کدگذاری باز و محوری (اولیه و ثانویه) استفاده شد.
 نتایج نشان داد سیاست‌گذاری اخلاقی در دانشگاه‌ها و مراکز آموزش عالی مستلزم چهار بعد اصلی است. بُعد اول، سیاست‌گذاری اخلاقی ناظر بر کمال و تمامیت حکمرانی است که مؤلفه‌هایی از جمله کامل و بی‌عیب و نقص بودن و یکپارچگی و به‌هم‌پیوستگی دارد. سیاست‌های این بعد، در تلاش است تا این دو مؤلفه را پشتیبانی و عملیاتی کند. بُعد دوم، سیاست‌گذاری اخلاقی ناظر بر صداقت و اصالت حکمرانی است. این بعد مؤلفه‌هایی از جمله صداقت با خود، تطابق کلمات و اقدامات فرد، تطابق رفتار‌های فرد با ارزش‌ها و هنجارهای اخلاقی مربوطه و تطابق با قوانین است. چالش اساسی اخلاق هنگامی شروع می‌شود که رفتارها، مبتنی بر ارزش‌ها، باورها و اصول اخلاقی نیستند. بُعد سوم بر سیاست‌گذاری اخلاقی ناظر بر سازگاری و تاب‌آوری حکمرانی تأکید کرده است که شامل سازگاری و تاب‌آوری در ناملایمات و همچنین سازگاری و پیوند با محیط دارد. تمامیت، اتحاد و پیوستگی فرد را با محیط و سازگاری با شرایط دشوار را نشان می‌دهد. در نهایت در بعد چهارم، سیاست‌گذاری اخلاقی ناظر بر فضیلت و اخلاق حکمرانی است. این بعد مؤلفه‌هایی از جمله مسئولیت‌پذیری، کنش آگاهانه و باز مبتنی بر تأمل اخلاقی، ارزش یا فضیلت و رفتار اخلاقی نمونه را شامل می‌شود. پیشنهاد می‌شود به‌منظور توسعۀ اخلاقی در دانشگاه‌ها از مفهوم حکمرانی به‌عنوان مشارکت تمامی ذی‌نفعان بهره‌گرفته شود و در ساحت حکمرانی، استفاده از مفهوم تمامیت، سبب جامعیت و فراگیری سیاست‌گذاری‌های اخلاقی خواهد شد، تمامیت، تصویری کامل، جامع، مانع و معرف از اخلاق و سیاست‌‌گذاری‌های آن به دست می‌دهد.

چکیده [English]

The current research was conducted to provide a framework for ethical policy in higher education governance based on the integrity of governance. The integrity of governance is an integrated, comprehensive and comprehensive view of ethics in governance that provides a suitable framework for ethical policymaking. Like other micro-based organizations, universities need the moral development of all their actors. In addition, governance oversees all stakeholders' participation and attention to the decision-making system at the highest policymaking level. Therefore, the integrity of governance is trying to develop ethics on the one hand during all ethical cases and on the other hand among all the people of the organization. From this point of view, integrity and governance are highly relevant, similar in various aspects, and easily integrated and compatible. This adaptability will make integrity work, and effective as a framework for ethical policymaking in higher education governance.
A qualitative approach and a narrative review method were used in four steps to present this ethical policy based on integrity in governance. The research community was all the scientific documents of domestic and foreign scientific databases, 114 documents were initially reviewed. Finally, 40 scientific documents were selected and analyzed as a sample. In order to analyze the findings, open and axial coding (primary and secondary) was used. In open coding, meaningful arguments and evidence are extracted and then categorized based on semantic similarity, which is called primary axial coding. After that, the created categories are again organized in the form of larger categories, which is called secondary axial coding.
 The results showed that ethical policymaking in universities and higher education centers requires 4 key dimensions.

The first dimension is ethical policymaking which oversees the perfection and integrity of governance, which has components such as completeness, flawlessness, integrity, and interconnectedness. In its first meaning, integrity refers to the completeness of a phenomenon, and this completeness is completed by the integration and interconnection of all its components. The policies of this dimension are trying to support and operationalize these two components.
The second dimension is the ethical policy-making that monitors the integrity and authenticity of governance. This dimension has components such as self-honesty, matching words and actions, matching values and relevant moral norms, and matching laws. The basic challenge of ethics starts when behaviors are not based on values, beliefs, and moral principles. In other words, people are not committed to the value system and the beliefs and principles that they express in terms of action, and there are obvious conflicts between the system of values and beliefs and people's behavior. Another aspect of such violation of integrity is failure to adhere to what is said, and in this case, a person reduces his integrity by not fulfilling his commitments and promises.
The third dimension has emphasized ethical policymaking regarding the adaptation and resilience of governance, which includes adaptation and resilience in adversity as well as adaptation and connection with the environment. It shows the complete unity and continuity of the person with the environment and adaptability to the conditions. People and systems with integrity have high adaptability and resilience with themselves and the surrounding environment because they have acquired this adaptability and resilience from being complete, healthy and flawless. also, they have high degrees of adaptability, flexibility, and resilience. It is the result of such completeness.
Finally, in the fourth dimension, ethical policy-making refers to the virtue and ethics of governance. It could be argued that one of the definitions and structures that describes integrity is the issue of virtue and ethics, and it seems that the more complete, healthy, and flawless a person is, the more ethical codes and behaviors he manifests. Gives. In other words, the integrity of the human being causes intellectual and practical moral developments. A human being is defined by their integrity, which is reflected in their morals. When that integrity is compromised, a person's morals suffer as a result. This dimension includes components such as responsibility, conscious and open action based on moral reflection, value or virtue, and exemplary moral behavior.

It is suggested to use the concept of governance in order to develop ethics in universities, and in the field of governance, using the concept of integrity will lead to the comprehensiveness and integrity of ethical policies, because integrity is a complete, comprehensive, barrier and representative of ethics and its policies. Integrity develops a vision and a perspective in ethical policymaking in which the completeness, health and flawlessness of human beings, which are indicated by the above-mentioned four dimensions, are developed in universities. It is clear that integrity displays a sublime and complex level of ethics, and this level of complexity and moral excellence will be highly relevant to the academic system and academics.
