Clarification of the Dignity-Axis Model of Organizational Culture with an Emphasis on Quranic Teachings

Abstract

Statement of the problem: Organizational culture is a common model and a stable pattern of values, beliefs, and basic convictions in an organization. Therefore, it is possible to carry out any fundamental changes and transformations in the organization by understanding the culture of the organization and the values within a society. On the other hand, different models of organizational culture are available, but the model based on dignity, especially from the perspective of the Qur'an, has not been paid attention to. so, in this article, the dimensions, components, and indicators of the model of dignity-based organizational culture in Quranic teachings are examined. Research method: The foundational data theory method, which relied on three stages open, central, and selective coding, is used. Aim of the research: Considering the lack of existing theories on the concept of the dignity-centered model of organizational culture, it is to present the model of the dignity-centered model of organizational culture with an emphasis on the teachings of the Holy Quran. Findings: 247 items were identified in the open coding stage, 36 concepts were identified in the axial coding, and 9 categories were identified in the selective coding. Finally, the dignity model of organizational culture was presented with an emphasis on Quranic teachings. Conclusion: In the Qur'anic culture, the need for proper government and management is a monotheistic view; That is, respecting the divine authority in the works and finally, designing the plans and organizational functions in such a way as to attract the satisfaction of the Almighty God. One of the requirements is to seek God's pleasure and a humanistic attitude toward honoring the dignity of the organization's human resources. That is, giving value, dignity, and respect to everyone, and putting government and management for them and at their service. Therefore, what should be considered in all organizational functions and decisions is the effect that these decisions and functions can have on human dignity.
