Abstract :

Background and purpose: In all periods of organizational life, there has been a division between the interests of the boss and the subordinates or the employer and the worker, and many factors have caused such a problem and brought adverse consequences. The purpose of this research is to design a model for antecedents and consequences of divisiveness in public organizations. Research method: The current research, in terms of its purpose, is among the survey researches, which was conducted qualitatively and using the content analysis method. In the conducted interviews, 12 organizational and academic experts were used until theoretical saturation, and after coding, the final model was extracted. Findings: The designed model has 6 dimensions and 23 components, the antecedents include the dimensions of the centralizing structure, hidden personality, double-minded managers and leaders, and politicized culture, and the consequences include the dimensions of individual and organizational destructive results, which are the identified factors that were approved by experts. Conclusion: To reduce organizational divisiveness, it is important and necessary to focus on antecedents for control and prediction, which will improve relationships and reduce destructive individual and organizational results.
