Meta-analysis of structural factors in cultural diversity management policies within Iranian government organizations

Diversity management has become an increasingly important area of research within management and organization studies over recent decades. Despite its growing prominence, most studies have concentrated on the demographic representation of marginalized groups in leadership roles, while the impact and effectiveness of diversity practices remain underexplored. This study aims to identify the structural factors shaping the development of cultural diversity management policies within Iranian government organizations. By analyzing research conducted between ۲۰۰۶ and ۲۰۲۴ on cultural diversity management, the study employs a meta-analytical approach based on qualitative literature review. The findings reveal five key indicators essential for structuring effective diversity management policies: supporting identity autonomy, promoting social order, recognizing diversity and change, establishing comprehensive transformation laws, and updating the cultural engineering map. These structural variables provide a robust framework to guide Iranian governmental agencies in crafting and implementing inclusive, adaptable, and sustainable diversity policies, fostering a more dynamic and equitable workplace environment.Diversity management has become an increasingly important area of research within management and organization studies over recent decades.
