Background Features of the Institutions of the Islamic Revolution: A Case Study of One of the Organizations of the Armed Forces

Iran's Islamic Revolution has a unique mission in the developments of the present era, including the introduction of new models of organization and management. Based on the surveys, so far no study has been introduced that deals with the comprehensive understanding of the background features of the institutions of the Islamic Revolution and their model-oriented presentation. The current research has been conducted in order to identify the background features of the institutions of the Islamic Revolution in one of the organizations of the armed forces based on thematic literature and to introduce the model of systemic communication between them. For this purpose, by analyzing the content of 49 studies in 1423 final codes, The background features of the institutions of the Islamic Revolution were identified in 3 categories of values, mechanisms and functions, with 36 themes and 560 indicators and sub-indices, and were classified in the form of a systemic model and validated by the Delphi method. Based on the findings, the values derived from pure Islam and crystallized in the Islamic Revolution are the core of the institutions of the Islamic Revolution. Value-oriented organization in an organized, indigenous and efficient format is the mechanism of revolutionary institutions. Being multi-purpose and playing social, cultural, political, economic, defense and security roles according to the conditions constitute the functions of a revolutionary institution. Also, the dynamic analysis of the problem emphasizes the importance of adopting dynamic and intelligent positive and negative mechanisms in the institutions of the Islamic Revolution.
