Components of Organizational Vitality in the Structural Dimension from the Perspective of the Holy Quran

Abstract

The aim of this research is to identify the components of organizational vitality in the structural dimension as one of the dimensions of the organizational vitality model from the perspective of the Quran. Considering the fundamental differences between organizational vitality from Islamic and Western viewpoints, this study, based on Islamic sources-especially the Holy Quran-addresses organizational vitality grounded in worldview, religious values, spirituality, ethics, and human excellence. In contrast, Western approaches focus on profit orientation, productivity, job satisfaction, and work-life balance. This research adopts a descriptive-analytical method based on Martyr Saddar’s interrogative approach in thematic Quranic interpretation within the framework of thematic analysis strategy. Among various thematic analysis methods, the "theme network" method was selected. The theme network method follows a specific process with three stages: basic themes, organizing themes, and global themes. The findings of this research, based on reflection on the verses of the Holy Quran and Islamic narrations, indicate that the components and factors of organizational vitality presented in management knowledge differ from those emphasized in the Holy Quran, although some principles overlap. The structural components of organizational vitality from the perspective of the Holy Quran include: organizational learning, flexible structure, organizational environment, organizational culture, professional ethics, management and leadership, and organizational justice.
