چکیده
تعارض منافع، یکی از چالش‌های اساسی در حکمرانی شهری است که می‌تواند کارآمدی نهادی و اعتماد عمومی را به‌ طور جدی تضعیف کند. در سازمان‌هایی با ساختار پیچیده و چندسطحی مانند شهرداری تهران، تداخل وظایف، روابط غیررسمی و ضعف در نظارت قانونی، زمینۀ شکل‌گیری موقعیت‌های متعدد تعارض منافع را فراهم می‌کند. از این‌رو، تحلیل نهادی این پدیده برای فهم عمیق‌تر ریشه‌های ساختاری و رفتاری آن اهمیت ویژه‌ای دارد. پژوهش حاضر با رویکرد کیفی و ماهیت کاربردی انجام شده و از روش تحلیل مضمون برای استخراج الگوهای مفهومی استفاده کرده است. داده‌ها از طریق ۳۲ مصاحبۀ نیمه‌ساخت‌یافته با مدیران، کارشناسان و اعضای شورای شهر تهران گردآوری شده و از طریق سه مرحلۀ کدگذاری باز، محوری و انتخابی مورد تحلیل قرار گرفته است. یافته‌ها بیانگر آن بوده است که تعارض منافع در شهرداری تهران پدیده‌ای نظام‌مند و چندسطحی است که در تعامل میان ساختارهای سازمانی ـ کارکردی، چارچوب‌های حقوقی ـ قانونی و شبکۀ ذی‌نفعان بازتولید می‌شود. در سطح سازمانی ـ کارکردی، تمرکز نامتوازن قدرت، ابهام در وظایف و وابستگی تصمیم‌ها به سازوکارهای غیررسمی، اصلاحات را ناکارآمد می‌کند؛ در سطح حقوقی ـ قانونی، پراکندگی مقررات و خلأهای قانونی امکان سوءاستفاده و تفسیر سلیقه‌ای را فراهم می‌آورد؛ و در سطح شبکۀ ذی‌نفعان، تعاملات قدرت و دسترسی برخی گروه‌ها زمینۀ بازتولید تعارض منافع را تقویت می‌کند. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد مدیریت مؤثر این پدیده نیازمند رویکردی تلفیقی است که هم ساختار و قوانین را اصلاح کند و هم شبکه‌های ذی‌نفع و الگوهای رفتاری را مدیریت کند.

چکیده English

Conflict of interest is one of the most critical challenges in urban governance, with the potential to significantly undermine institutional efficiency and public trust. In complex and multilayered organizations such as the Tehran municipality, overlapping responsibilities, informal networks, and insufficient legal oversight create fertile ground for the emergence of diverse conflict-of-interest situations. Institutional analysis of this phenomenon is therefore essential for gaining a deeper understanding of its structural and behavioral roots. This study employs a qualitative and applied approach, utilizing thematic analysis to identify conceptual patterns. Data were collected through 32 semi-structured interviews with managers, experts, and members of the Tehran city council, and were analyzed through three stages of open, axial, and selective coding. The findings reveal that conflict of interest in the Tehran municipality is a systemic and multilevel phenomenon that is reproduced through the interaction of organizational and functional structures, legal and regulatory frameworks, and stakeholder networks. At the organizational–functional level, the uneven concentration of power, ambiguity in responsibilities, and reliance on informal mechanisms weaken reform efforts; at the legal–regulatory level, fragmented regulations and legislative gaps create opportunities for misuse and discretionary interpretation; and within stakeholder networks, power dynamics and privileged access for specific groups contribute to the persistence of conflict-of-interest situations. The results indicate that effective management of this phenomenon requires an integrated approach that simultaneously addresses structural and legal reforms while also managing stakeholder networks and behavioral patterns.
