Abstract
In a context where contemporary societies face diverse issues and transformations across multiple domains, the significance of management as a key driver of progress and development is felt more than ever. In this regard, Jihadi Management, as an Iranian‑Islamic model, can serve as a guarantee for advancement and development grounded in the ideals of the Islamic Revolution. Accordingly, the present study aims to identify the most important and fundamental indicators of Jihadi Management as a driving force behind the civilizational discourse of the Islamic Revolution. The research was conducted through a qualitative approach using in‑depth interviews with experts. Based on the findings, the core indicators of Jihadi Management that propel the civilizational discourse of the Islamic Revolution include ethical orientation, community‑centeredness, Islamic orientation, and revolutionary orientation. The ethical dimension emphasizes value‑orientation, pursuit of justice, and legal‑ethical conduct. The community‑centered dimension highlights public service, accountability, participatory capacity, and knowledge‑based orientation. In the Islamic dimension, Jihadi Management must, through a God‑centered perspective, reliance on divine guidance, and adherence to leadership, facilitate the path toward progress and the formation of a new Islamic civilization. In the revolutionary dimension, Jihadi Management—through a committed and purpose‑driven revolutionary approach—fulfills the ideals of the Islamic Revolution across five components: youth‑orientation through mobilizing creative and revolutionary forces; resilience in confronting challenges based on authentic values; self‑sacrifice by prioritizing collective interests; revolutionary spirit characterized by conscious resistance to domination and steadfast perseverance; and courage in undertaking critical responsibilities. This management style, which integrates Jihadi pragmatism with adherence to Islamic principles, mobilizes committed human capital and paves the way for the realization of a new Islamic civilization and the comprehensive advancement of the system.
