Analyzing Nahjul-Balagha's Strategies for Encouraging Involvement in Organizational Decision-Making through a Grounded Theory Approach

The study aimed to explore the phenomenon of academic participation and strategies for its integration into academic decision-making, grounded in the management teachings of Nahjul-Balagha. The research sample consisted of academic experts in educational sciences, educational management, and organizational psychology, with ۲۰ participants selected through purposive sampling guided by a theoretical approach. Data collection and analysis involved a library study, semi-structured interviews, and a three-stage coding process. The reliability and validity agreement coefficient for the findings was approximately ۰.۷, confirming the credibility of the research outcomes.A paradigmatic model was subsequently identified to enhance participation levels, with strategies for each component of the model derived from Imam Ali’s directives in Nahjul-Balagha. Findings revealed that, according to Nahjul-Balagha, an individual engages genuinely in decision-making when they strive for their own growth and that of their colleagues by developing talents and capabilities in educational, cultural, research, and executive domains. This progression requires patience, voluntary effort, sincerity, gratitude, and a commitment to using these abilities with positive intent and benevolence aligned with the broader system's goals. Such participation manifests in the individual’s physical, intellectual, and psychological dimensions.
