Abstract
Today, organizational punishments play a significant role in maintaining ethical order within organizations. Research shows that decisions to punish or forgive norm violators are influenced by the intentionality of the violation and the violator's moral identity. Accordingly, this study aims to design and validate an effective organizational punishment model, with a focus on governmental organizations in Khorasan Razavi Province. The research employs a mixed-methods approach. In the qualitative phase, thematic analysis was used, while the quantitative phase utilized a survey method. The qualitative participants included nine senior executives, members of administrative disciplinary committees, and personnel responsible for addressing organizational misconduct, all with at least 10 years of managerial experience. Additionally, five university faculty members with expertise in organizational behavior, human resources, psychology, law, or sociology, and a minimum of 10 years of teaching experience at the assistant professor level or higher, participated. Sampling in the qualitative phase was purposive and snowball-based. In the quantitative phase, the statistical population included 8,936 government managers in Khorasan Razavi in 2023. Stratified random sampling determined a minimum sample size of 368, based on Cochran's formula. The findings revealed three main themes: the effectiveness of punishment systems, organizational structure efficiency, and the deterrence effectiveness of punishments. These themes encompass 14 components and 140 indicators. Quantitative results confirmed the validity of the developed model.
