چکیده
هدف این مطالعه ارائه مدل رهبری اخلاقی در سازمان‌های مردم نهاد ورزشی است که برحسب تجربه زیسته پژوهشگر از ساده‌لوحی اخلاقی و کج‌رویی اخلاقی در امان نیستند. روش این پژوهش کیفی و رویکرد آن تحلیل مضمون است. مشارکت‌کنندگان این پژوهش را دبیران سمن‌های ورزشی، اعضای مجمع ملی سازمان‌های مردم نهاد جوانان و اساتید دانشگاه تشکیل می‌دادند. روش نمونه‌گیری هدفمند و استراتژی آن از نوع گلوله‌برفی بود و مبتنی بر اشباع‌نظری با 18 نفر مصاحبه شد. برای گردآوری داده‌ها از مصاحبه‌های نیمه ساختاریافته برای ارزیابی اعتبار و قابلیت اطمینان به نتایج از راهبردهای باورپذیری، انتقال‌پذیری، تأییدپذیری و قابلیت اعتماد استفاده شد. جهت تجزیه و تحلیل داده‌ها از روش تحلیل مضمون، الگوی پیشنهادی اترید-استرلینگ (2001) در سه مرحله کدگذاری استفاده شد. نتایج نشان داد مدل رهبری اخلاقی در سمن‌های ورزشی دارای 80 مضمون پایه، 16 مضمون سازمان‌دهنده و 4 مضمون فراگیر به‌نام‌های انگیزه رهبر اخلاق‌مدار، اصول رهبری اخلاق‌مدار، رفتار رهبر اخلاق‌مدار، نتیجه رفتار رهبری اخلاقی است که نشان می‌دهد دلیل رهبری اخلاقی را می‌توان انگیزه خدمت‌رسانی، انگیزه اجتماعی و نگرانی از نقض اصول اخلاقی جستجو کرد که در ادامه با تکلیف‌گرایی، مصلحت‌گرایی و عقلانیت‌گرایی تجلی پیدا می‌کند و با انجام رفتارهای اخلاقی منجر به مشروعیت رهبری، اثرات نگرشی، وفاداری پیروان و در نهایت پیامدهای عملکردی مثبت می‌شود که در این پژوهش نشانگرهای آن قید شده است.

چکیده English

The aim of this study is to present an ethical leadership model in non-governmental sports organizations that goes beyond simplistic morality and ethical misconduct based on the researcher's lived experience. The research method used in this qualitative study is content analysis. The participants in this research were sports association secretaries, members of the national assembly of youth non-governmental organizations, and university professors. The purposive sampling method was employed, and the snowball sampling strategy was utilized, with 18 individuals being interviewed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data, and credibility, transferability, conformability, and dependability were ensured through trustworthy strategies. The proposed Ethredge-Sterling (2001) coding pattern was used in three stages for data analysis. The results revealed that the ethical leadership model in sports associations consists of 80 basic themes, 16 organizing themes, and 4 universal themes, namely ethical leadership motivation, ethical leadership principles, ethical leadership behavior, and the outcomes of ethical leadership behavior. These findings indicate that the rationale for ethical leadership can be sought in the motivation for serving others, social motivation, and concern for ethical principles. Furthermore, it manifests in task-orienteers, utilitarianism, and rationality, leading to ethical behaviors that result in leadership legitimacy, attitudinal effects, follower loyalty, and ultimately positive performance outcomes, as indicated by the indicators in this study.
