Abstract :

In recent decades, diversity management has become a growing research field in management and organization studies. Despite the popularity of diversity management, the effects of these practices have not been studied except for the numerical representation of marginalized groups in management ranks. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify and determine the background variables in the design of cultural diversity management policies in Iran's government organizations. first, qualitative data were collected through library studies and evaluated based on meta-analysis. Background variables in the design of cultural diversity management policies in Iran's government organizations, 10 indicators were obtained, which were discussed in the managerial category and the social category. In the managerial category, development and cultural perceptions and in the social category, inter-structural cultural adaptation emerged as recurring themes throughout the research, indicating their significant impact. The findings show that the need for a more comprehensive approach to managing diversity in Iran's government organizations, identified indicators, such as development and cultural perceptions in the management category, and inter-structural cultural compatibility in the social category, highlight the multifaceted nature of cultural diversity management. slow This emphasizes the importance of considering managerial and social factors in the design and implementation of policies aimed at fostering cultural diversity in these organizations. Further research and practical applications in this area can lead to more effective and inclusive diversity management practices, which ultimately benefit organizations and the diverse individuals that comprise them.
