Abstract

This research is an attempt in line with the attempts of the Islamic scholars in order to suggest a model for value-based organizations through an Islamic approach. Regarding the quality of the resources, Delphi quantitative-qualitative method and exploratory factor analysis were employed for data analysis in this research. Having reviewed the previous researches and exploratory interviews, 360 codes were identified initially. Having refined and categorized them, 68 primary indicators were extracted with 22 components. Subsequently, 44 experts, selected through snowball method, were asked to comment on the proposed indicators and components. Afterwards, 9 factors were identified by exploratory factor analysis. Finally, the adjusted indicators, proposed components and extracted dimensions, along with feedback from the first round results, were again presented to the experts. Having collected their opinions, the researchers designed the final model of the value-based organizations on the basis of Islamic approach. It included nine dimensions: people-oriented leadership, constant development culture, emotional human resources, development-oriented strategy, moderation-oriented institutionalization, flexible supervision, authorization, infrastructure control and religiosity. The most important recommendations of this research comprise further identification of new indicators, designing instruments for practical measurement of the indicators at the organizations' levels, and assessment of the possibility of generalizing the findings of this research to other types of organization.
