Due to the increasing need for paying attention to religious principles in producing the humanities and also the importance of discovering talents for today's knowledge-based economy, i.e. people with special characteristics who have a prominent role in the accomplishment of the goals of an organization, attention to and explanation of religion's view of the various dimensions of man has increased. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of a talented agent from Imam Ali's point of view and to answer the question about the characteristics of a talented agent from Imam Ali's point of view. The researchers have focused on Malik Ashtar's characteristics from Imam Ali's viewpoint. Malik Ashtar was a talented and outstanding agent and was one of the most prominent figures in Imam Ali's government. Using qualitative content analysis method, the paper has identified three main aspects including individual characteristics , organizational characteristics and social characteristics and eleven indicators of decisiveness, courage, wilayat-orientedness, insight, piety, persistence in the path of truth, the benevolence of government and organization, excellent performance, reliability, reform, and benevolence towards people as the characteristics of a talented agent.

One of the concerns of all governments is to determine the components of good governance that includes all aspects and areas related to social life. Considering the comprehensiveness and completeness of the religion of Islam and depending on doctrines and practical tradition of Infallibles, this issue becomes necessary more than ever. Therefore, the main purpose of this study, which has been implemented qualitatively based on the grounded theory, is to design a good governance model based on the letter of Ali ibn Abi Talib to Malik al-Ashtar. For data collection, the text of the letter (letter 53) was used and date analysis was done through Strauss and Corbin method and paradigmatic model. The results of the data obtained from the coding of the text of the letter in question during an open,axial and selective coding process, led to the development of grounded theory in the field of good governance. The model designed in this study includes effective dimensions and components, obstacles and strategies, causal, contextual and intermediary conditions and constituent elements that show the central phenomenon, consequences and strategies.

The role and influence of clerics in the realization of the functions of mosque has had ups and downs at different times and in different places. One reason is the lack of an exact definition of the managerial role of different walks of people, including clerics, in mosques. This gap has caused the role of the prayer leaders in each of their functions and responsibilities to be unclear, and has led to their inability in performing their duties properly. From among the multiple functions of mosque, the researcher has selected the important cultural function and examined the managerial role of the prayer leader in the realization of this function. The findings of the study show that prayer leaders, as the main managers of mosques, have a very effective role in realizing the cultural function, both because of their management of the entire mosque and their performance that will affect all parts of the mosque, including the functions, and also because of the need for them to enter the cultural function, which will specially affect the cultural aspect. The method used in the present study in terms of nature is qualitative; in terms of purpose it is an applied research; in terms of data collection it is library-based and in terms of analysis it is analytical- descriptive research.

Emphasizing on the administrative system of Afghanistan and focusing on human resources, this study aimed to investigate the role of Islamic values in improving the administrative system. The main problem of the research is that due to the weaknesses in the administrative systems in Islamic countries, especially the Islamic country of Afghanistan on the one hand, and administrative system being influenced by the other existing systems on the other hand, how can the value system of Islam be effective in improving the efficiency of a system and especially in changing the behavior of its human resources? This study was performed using descriptive-analytical method for data analysis and library search method for data collection. The findings showed that the values governing a system have a clear effect on how its human resources behave in different dimensions. It also showed that the weakness of the administrative system of countries including Afghanistan has been due to the rule of incorrect values of its human resources. Therefore, research findings show that the most important role of Islamic values in improving administrative systems lies in its impact on human behavior, and the best way to improve administrative systems from the Islamic point of view is to institutionalize these values in human resources. It is concluded that administrative system will improve through reforming the behavior of human resources.

Nowadays, the importance and status of human resources is recognized as a competitive advantage in organizations. Therefore, organizations try to recruit qualified and competent managers and employees. Accurate identification of competency criteria and development of competency models are among the essential requirements of the meritocracy process. Several competency models have already been proposed by management experts; however, considering the fundamental and infrastructural differences between the views of Islamic management and Western management, it is necessary to set and present the criteria for competency based on the approach of the suprem goals of Islam and Islamic government. So far several studies have been conducted on the status of meritocracy in Islam and the development of Islamic-based competency models each of which has strengths, weaknesses, and differences. The present study is conducted to investigate these researches. After explaining meritocracy from the Islamic point of view, the paper uses the analytical method to analyze and review the competency models proposed in internal researches and provide scientific and practical solutions for researchers and executives.

Due to the development of new technologies and the emergence of giant organizations, today's complex environment has increased the necessity of promoting teamwork. The reason for the importance of teamwork in current organizations is that individual activities and lack of teamwork do not lead to the accomplishment of the goals of organizations. The goals of organizations can be reached through effective working teams that can make the highest profit and offer the best service to the organization and society by employing qualified personnel and using other resources properly. Therefore, the present study seeks to answer and explain the fundamental question of the components affecting the effectiveness of teamwork from the Islamic perspective. To this end, using the descriptiveanalytical method, the authors of the present paper have studied religious texts and described supreme goals, commitment, accountability, trust, cooperation and facilitation of social communications as the most important components influencing the effectiveness of teamwork from the perspective of Islam.
