Abstract
Background and Aim: Paying attention to environmental cultures and acting based on them is one of the main success indicators of human resources management. This is particularly important for education, given its wide scope and goals, as it is one of the main requirements for creating national unity. Therefore, the current research has been carried out with the aim of identifying and investigating the dimensions and ethical components of management in multicultural schools.
Methods: The approach of the current research was qualitative and its method was meta-composite. The research community included all the articles published in the last decade (2013-23) in the field of ethical indicators in the management of schools in areas with subcultures, from which 25 titles were selected as samples based on thematic content monitoring. Research data were collected by qualitative analysis of the studied documents.
Ethical Considerations: In writing the article, ethical aspects including preserving the authenticity of the texts, honesty and trustworthiness have been observed.
Results: By analyzing the data, the ethical indicators of management in schools in areas with subcultures were classified into 4 dimensions, 13 factors, and 67 categories. These dimensions include: individual-personality components (including the attitude of cultural ethics, knowledge of cultural ethics), social components (communication skills, cultural constructivism and intercultural ethics), professional-specialist components (managing diversity in human resources, specialized professional development, professional commitment and responsibility), and leadership-managerial components (paying attention to multicultural learning, intercultural conflict management, evolution towards pluralism).
Conclusion: According to the findings, it can be concluded that paying attention to personality and empowering characteristics in line with the ethical management of human resources and understanding cultural diversity and the ability to make the school atmosphere collaborative helps to create an ethical environment in multicultural schools.
