Abstract: (605 Views)
Background and Objectives: Ethical performance is essential for educational leaders, but the ethical decision-making (EDM) process is poorly understood in different contexts. Islamic countries, with a distinctive philosophy, require their theories of ethics. This study aims to explain a model of EDM based on the teachings of Sahifa Sajjadiyya, a collection of supplications and moral guidance by Imam Sajjad, the fourth Shia Imam.
Methods: This study was conducted to examine the text of Sahifa Sajjadiyya and extract all the concepts related to the ethics of managers using conventional content analysis. To ensure the accuracy of the interpretation, the researchers consulted various commentaries on the text, such as Riyad-al-Salekin (in Arabic) and several Persian explanations. The consensus of researchers and external audits also verified the validity and reliability of the results.
Results: The model derived from this study has three main categories that every manager should consider in every decision: Necessities, facilitating factors, and inhibiting factors of EDM. Each category has interrelated subcategories.
Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, the central variable of this model is faith in God’s absolute sovereignty as the basis for EDM. The influencing factors that can range from inhibition to facilitation include the manager’s individual characteristics, organizational atmosphere, and community culture. These concepts can be used to design decision-making evaluation questionnaires for managers.
