The reconstruction of ethical values has a very significant role in the efficiency of human resource management today. The present study is accordingly trying to present a framework for reconstructing ethical values in the workplace based on the spiritual teachings of Nahj al-Balagha.

The present study has a qualitative method. In terms of purpose, it is developmental, and it is a descriptive-analytical method in terms of nature. According to an in-depth analysis of the behavioral biography of Imam Ali (AS) and based on a comprehensive study of Nahj al-Balagha and narrative books that have explained the history of Imam's government and using Brown and Clarke (2006) six-step thematic analysis, the issues of the research have been extracted.

According to the thematic analysis, 158 concepts were labeled in the form of 26 codes as basic themes, four codes as organizing themes, and finally, two codes as comprehensive ones. The opinions of experts who have researched and written some papers in the fields related to Nahj al-Balagha and Islamic management were used to assess the validity of the findings, and the reliability of the research findings has been confirmed by the inter-coder agreement method.

The results indicate that it is needed to focus on redefining and perceived ethical co-creation and value-generating ethical measures to reconstruct moral values in the workplace. Co-creation of perceived ethical values is conducted through multiple capacity building and innate legitimacy, and value-generating moral measures are ethical tools and actions that re-create moral values in the workplace.
