Factor analysis has been used to identify the components and finally the extraction model has been validated by structural equation modeling. The statistical population in qualitative and quantitative part of research consisted of experts, faculty members and staff and experts of Isfahan Cooperative Development Bank and five cities of Isfahan province (160) that were evaluated using survey technique. Finally, the model of virtuous organizations in Co-operative Development Bank was extracted in the form of 10 components of participatory leadership, core team, managers' commitment and support, structural support, organizational strategies, organizational communication, upstream documents, environmental dynamics and technological infrastructure and 67 indicators and the data collected had a good fit in the model of virtuous organizations.

This article seeks to answer the question: Where is the place of justice in Aristotle's political thought? The answer to this question is important in the sense that justice as a wise principle of human coexistence is the basic concept of moral philosophy, social philosophy and old political philosophy and new ideas. Aristotle uses the concept of "equality" and "moderation" in his definition of justice, and his profound influence on the political thought of Muslim philosophers adds to the importance of Aristotle's theory of justice. The paper hypothesizes that Aristotle's theory of justice is rooted in ontology, Aristotelian ethics, and Greek custom. And justice finds meaning in him based on the general natural model in his ontology. The findings of this article, which are obtained by descriptive-analytical method, show that Aristotle divides justice into two general and specific meanings. Justice in the general sense is respect for the law and equality of citizens, which defines it with virtue and considers it as the same set of virtues. And justice in a specific sense is divided into two types: distributive and corrective: Distributive justice affects the distribution of honor and money and other things that are distributed among citizens who have a share in the political system of society. And another type of this justice, corrective justice, plays the role of correction in transactions and relations between people in society. The Relationship between Justice and Equality Aristotle's important discussion of distributive justice; According to him, justice is the observance of proportionality, and that equal people are treated equally and inequalities are treated unequally, and that gifts and facilities are distributed in proportion to the equality and inequality of individuals.

The procedure we proposed to reach the mentioned research aim, combined approach of quantitative-qualitative method has been used. To identify the indices of virtuous organization, Delphi method which is one of the qualitative methods, has been utilized. To test the model, quantitative method of structural equations modeling was used. In this paper, first of all, effective indices on creating virtuous organization have been extracted according to the research literature and then, it was unanimously agreed on them by making Delphi هیئت‌رئیسه and three rounds of implementing it.

Results showed that main five factors including leadership, organizational culture, human resource, structure and processes and attention to stakeholders can be extracted by factor analysis فن the these five factors can totally explain about the 81% of the total variance of the variables. Results of the path analysis of the structural model of virtuous سازمان indicated that among the five extracted factors, organizational culture has the most direct effect on virtuous organization and the factor of attention to stakeholders allocated the first rank to itself in leading the organization towards virtuous organization in terms of total direct and indirect effect.

With the entry of spirituality in the research of organizations and management, a considerable improvement has occurred. For a long time, spirituality excluded from surveying, but increasing research showed that it related to and integrated a lot of results in individual, organizational and society levels. Recent studies in the realm of spirituality and spiritual leadership, only paid attention to spiritual leader and spiritual workplace, and ignored the roles of followers in leadership equation.
This paper, with a developmental approach, and after using expert's opinions, aims to identify the traits and behaviors of spiritual followers and explore the roles of them in the leadership effectiveness. After analyzing data, using adaptive neural fuzzy inference systems, the results show that follower's virtue, critical thinking, active engagement, self-awareness and altruism have a significance role in exploring leadership effectiveness and the roles of follower's maturity and self-esteem, in leadership effectiveness, are not significant.

This paper examined the relationship between the two basic criteria "virtue" and "competence" in Islamic Management. Studies showed that from the perspective of management scholars in the West virtues and technical competencies have been taken identical and primarily in Western management paradigm no distinction has been drawn between these two measuresin most cases (MC Cowli and Lawtan, 2006). Regarding the fact that virtuesdefinedsomewhatdifferentlyin Islam fromwhat has been inthe West by the dominant view, in this paper by using semi-structured questionnaires and interviews it is tried to answer this question that does virtues have the same value as technical merits and competencies or is there significant difference between them in Islamic management which its basic valueshave differed somewhatfrom thevalues ofWesternmanagement? The statistical population for this study was as follows: a group of faculty members anddoctoral students of management at University of Tehran, University of Tarbiat Modarres and University of Allameh Tabatabaei, well-knowledgeable in principles of Islamic management and also number of Hawzah scholars, typically experts in the field of Islamic management. Findings from the data analysis showed thatrespondents, besides making distinction between virtues and competencies, in most cases have not taken these two criteria necessarily identical from the perspective of Islamic managementand contrary to popular opinion in the West and subsequently in Western management paradigm, virtue and competence criteria are two separate and somewhat different criteria from each other.
