Objective: National infrastructures of organizational governance, by establishing a robust framework, contribute to enhancing transparency and accountability in organizations and companies. These infrastructures, while ensuring justice and sustainability, also strengthen productivity and public trust at both national and international levels. The aim of this research is to examine national organizational governance infrastructures in different countries and to explain the model of national organizational governance infrastructures through the analysis of related studies.
Method: This study employed the seven-step meta-synthesis method proposed by Sandelowski and Barroso to analyze and synthesize the results of 117 related studies conducted between 1990 and 2024.
Findings: After multiple rounds of reviewing and refining the coded data, 858 characteristics were extracted, which were further reviewed and revised for more precise analysis. The identified codes were grouped into three main categories of infrastructures based on conceptual similarities, and ultimately, 46 concepts were divided into three key groups. The results indicate that national organizational governance infrastructures are classified into three main levels. The first level includes political infrastructures, which are divided into two parts: policy-making infrastructures, where legislative bodies and the Ministry of Economy and Finance play a central role, and legal and regulatory infrastructures, which encompass 20 types of laws and regulations aimed at creating an efficient legal system for companies and organizations. The second level consists of regulatory infrastructures, including 12 main types of infrastructures that directly impact economic health and transparency. The third level pertains to facilitative infrastructures, which include institutions such as shareholder rights associations, corporate governance commissions, and educational and advisory bodies, and strengthen the foundations of transparency and accountability in organizations by promoting effective management and transparency.
