Abstract

Background and Aim: Aesthetic leadership is a leadership style closely intertwined with ethical leadership. This style is values-based and focused on promoting ethical behaviors, with a strong ethical goal centered on values of justice and fairness. This study aimed to explore ethical aesthetics from the perspective of nursing managers at Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Methods: This descriptive qualitative study used a customary content analysis with the approach of Graneheim and Lundman. The study population included the leadership and management team of hospitals affiliated with Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Data collection was done through semi-structured, face-to-face interviews. The sampling method was purposive snowball sampling and participants were selected until data saturation was reached. A total of 28 interviews were conducted with matrons, supervisors and head nurses. Ethical Considerations: The study was approved by the ethics committee. Ethical considerations such as obtaining informed consent, voluntary participation, explaining the research objectives and ensuring confidentiality were adhered to. Results: After analysis, three main categories and sub-categories were identified. The main categories included aesthetic ethical thinking (self-discipline, absence the sense of superiority, respect in work, empathy and understanding of others, altruism, having a clear conscience, attention to human dignity, adherence to professional ethics principles), aesthetic ethical behavior (efforts to uphold employee rights, ethical judgments, ethical disciplinary methods, appreciation and recognition of staff efforts, adherence to justice, patience, forgiveness, altruism in behavior) and aesthetic ethical speech (respectful communication, courage in speech, fairness in speech, preservation of human dignity in speech, honesty and truthfulness in speech, respecting individuals' privacy in speech). Conclusion: The aesthetics of ethics is an internalized ethical inclination that leads to actions (speech and behavior) grounded in human aesthetic values, goodness, benefit and truth. This research can strengthen the theoretical foundation of aesthetic leadership and complement the model of aesthetic nursing leadership within the healthcare system. It also contributes to the objectification and clarification of the concept of beauty and the sublime beauty of ethics in organizational life and nursing leadership and management in the Iranian healthcare system.
