Organizational kindness is a positive phenomenon that help organizations achieve competitive advantage. This study aimed to identify the requirements and obstacles of organizational kindness at hospitals of Herat province. Utilizing systematic review and qualitative meta-synthesis approach, analysed existing literature following the seven steps outlined by Sandelowski and Barroso. The originality of the subject is notable, as it has been largely overlooked in domestic studies. A total of 223 authentic scientific texts in English were initially identified, and ultimately, 33 research titles were thoroughly examined. The PRISMA framework guided the screening process, while the CASP scale was employed to assess the qualifications and validate the resources. Using MAXQDA2024 software, 278 primary concepts were extracted, revealing 182 concepts related to organizational kindness' requirements and 96 concepts associated to organizational kindness' obstacles. To further validate the model developed for the hospitals in Herat province, administrative managers and medical staff were interviewed, with the data analysed through thematic analysis. The Kappa index was applied to measure the reliability of the research model. Additionally, experts confirmed the validity of the research using the content validity ratio and the content validity index, ensuring the rigour and applicability of the findings.

In this research, the structure of "employee-organization relationship" was considered as a variable with dimensions of satisfaction, trust, commitment and mutual control. The statistical population of the research was the studies indexed in the Scopus database in the period of 2014-2023. Using the defined protocol, finally 41 hypotheses from 26 studies were selected for the sample. Data extracted from selected studies were evaluated by meta-analysis method. By identifying the most important antecedents related to this structure, the effect size of each antecedents and their overall effect size were measured. According to research results, the antecedents of "employee-organization relationship" variable are respectively: symmetrical communication, transparent communication, communication satisfaction, empowering leadership, authentic leadership, and dialogic communication with strong effect size; organizational justice, communication authenticity, communication responsiveness, and transformational leadership with medium effect size; and the organization character construct with weak effect size. The overall effect size of all antecedents in the model of fixed effect size and random effect size is: 0.629 and 0.626 respectively, that shows the strong effect of the antecedents identified to create favorable employee-organization relationship in the organization.
