Barriers of The Continuance of Jihadi Management Morale in PostWar Era

In the imposed war period of Iraq against Iran, a new pattern of management emerged, triggering various actions which could be considered the result of jihadi management esprit in Iranian managers. Although it was expected that this esprit would continue after 1989 and become a successful model for managing the country in the post-war era; but, except some very few instances, we have witnessed a significant departure from this morale in attitudes and behaviors of the executive authorities of the country after the end of this period. Thus, the present study aims to identify the barriers of the continuance of jihadi management morale in post-war era. Based on this, these factors were identified using 12 semi-structured interviews which were analyzed using qualitative method of analysis, thematic analysis. The result of the analyzes were 380 codes, 85 descriptive themes, 10 interpretative themes and finally 4 overarching themes. According to the results of the research, the barriers include individual factors (exposition of sensuality and secularity), social factors (post-war neglectfulness, value roll-back), political factors (exogenous instigations, getting far from revolutionary) and structural factors (non-jihadi administrative structure, structural thwart from the people's contribution, the transformation of revolutionary institutions, the managerial westernization).
