چکیده
در نظام‌های اداری و حکمرانی معاصر، پدیده «تثبیت مدیران» به عنوان یکی از چالش‌های پنهان اما مؤثر بر ناکارآمدی سازمان‌های عمومی شناخته می‌شود. این پدیده زمانی رخ می‌دهد که مدیران، به‌ویژه در سطوح ارشد، با بهره‌گیری از نفوذ سازمانی، روابط سیاسی و تخصص انحصاری، به موقعیتی دست می‌یابند که برکناری یا اصلاح عملکرد آنان به امری دشوار بدل می‌گردد. هدف از پژوهش حاضر شناسایی، دسته‌بندی و تحلیل پدیده تثبیت مدیران در بخش عمومی با بهره‌گیری از روش فراترکیب است.
در این پژوهش، با مرور نظام‌مند و تحلیل 30 مقاله در حوزه‌های مدیریت عمومی، سیاست‌گذاری و روان‌شناسی سازمانی، 46 کد مفهومی استخراج و در سه محور اصلی عوامل تأثیرگذار، پیامدها و راهکارها دسته‌بندی شدند. یافته‌های پژوهش نشان داد که عوامل تثبیت مدیران در سه دسته شناختی، ساختاری و رفتاری-سیاسی قابل تبیین هستند؛ پیامدها در چهار دسته کاهش کارایی سازمانی، آسیب به حاکمیت عمومی، مقاومت در برابر اصلاحات و آثار سیاسی-ساختاری شناسایی شدند؛ و راهکارهای کاهش اثرات تثبیت مدیران نیز در سه دسته اصلاح ساختارهای حاکمیتی، مداخلات رفتاری-تکنولوژیکی و توسعه استراتژی‌های نوآورانه دسته‌بندی گردیدند. در پرتو این یافته‌ها، پژوهش حاضر بر ضرورت اتخاذ رویکردهای پیشگیرانه و اصلاحی برای مقابله با پدیده تثبیت مدیران در سازمان‌های عمومی به منظور ارتقای عملکرد، تقویت حاکمیت عمومی و تسهیل اصلاحات ساختاری اشاره دارد.

چکیده English

In contemporary administrative and governance systems, the phenomenon of "Managerial entrenchment" is known as one of the hidden but effective challenges to the inefficiency of public organizations. This phenomenon occurs when managers, especially at senior levels, use organizational influence, political relations, and exclusive expertise to achieve a position where their dismissal or improvement of performance becomes difficult. The aim of the present study is to identify, classify, and analyze the phenomenon of managerial entrenchment in the public sector using the meta-synthesis method. In this study, by systematically reviewing and analyzing 30 articles in the fields of public management, policymaking, and organizational psychology, 46 conceptual codes were extracted and categorized into three main axes: influential factors, consequences, and solutions. The findings of the study showed that the factors of managerial entrenchment can be explained in three categories: cognitive, structural, and behavioral-political; The consequences were identified in four categories: reduced organizational efficiency, damage to public governance, resistance to reforms, and political-structural effects; and the strategies to reduce the effects of manager consolidation were also categorized into three categories: reforming governance structures, behavioral-technological interventions, and developing innovative strategies. In light of these findings, the present study points to the need to adopt preventive and corrective approaches to deal with the phenomenon of manager consolidation in public organizations in order to improve performance, strengthen public governance, and facilitate structural reforms.
