This study aims to examine the concept of individual performance from the perspective of the Quran. Performance is a crucial element in organizations, as individuals spend a significant portion of their lives in various institutions, shaping different levels of performance (team and organizational) through their actions. How performance is defined and viewed determines how we approach and deal with it. The main objective of this research is to investigate the meaning, levels, approaches, and components of performance from the Quran's perspective.The importance of this study lies in the fact that in Islamic countries where individuals adhere to Islamic beliefs, their actions and behaviors should be examined differently. To improve the critical element of individual performance, we must change our view of it and extract its essential components based on Islamic sources, with the Quran being the primary and most important source.The main research question is: What are the dimensions and components of individual performance from the Quran's perspective? Secondary questions include: What are the dimensions and components of individual performance in conventional human resource management literature? Are these dimensions and components approved by the Quran?

This study employs a qualitative approach based on the thematic research method in the Quran. The thematic research method was used for data collection and concept extraction from Quranic verses. The grounded theory method was utilized for the analysis and systematic classification of the extracted concepts.The research process involved three main stages:Implementing the thematic research method in the Quran: This stage included preliminary steps, concept extraction, research expansion, and compilation.Using grounded theory to categorize the extracted concepts: This stage involved open coding, axial coding, and selective coding of the concepts derived from the Quranic verses. Integration of resultThis final stage combined the findings from the previous two stages to develop a comprehensive model of performance dimensions and components based on the Quran.The researchers used an integrated approach combining the thematic research method in the Quran and grounded theory. This approach was chosen to ensure the centrality of the Quran in the research while providing a systematic framework for analyzing and categorizing the extracted concepts.

The study revealed that the Quran's perspective on performance differs from conventional human resource management literature. The Quranic view of performance is not solely results-oriented or behavior-oriented but takes a post-process approach, considering the aftermath of individuals' actions as well.The research identified four main dimensions of individual performance from the Quran's perspective:Agential dimension (11 components): This includes factors such as intention, effort, faith, existential capacity, and personality structure (schema).Actional dimension (9 components): This encompasses the nature and method of actions, categorized into righteous and unrighteous deeds.Results (3 components): This includes the outcomes, effects, and consequences of actions.Performance transformations (2 components): This refers to changes in performance, either in a positive direction (repentance) or negative direction (nullification of deeds).The Quranic perspective adds several components to the conventional understanding of performance, particularly in the agential dimension. It emphasizes factors such as intention, faith, and individual capacity, which are not typically considered inconventional performance management models.The study also found that the Quran confirms some aspects of conventional performance management, such as goal orientation, comparability, measurability, and results orientation, while adding new dimensions and components.

The findings of this study suggest that the Quranic perspective on individual performance is more comprehensive than conventional models. While conventional literature typically focuses on determinants of results and results themselves, the Quran introduces additional dimensions, particularly emphasizing the agential aspect of performance.The Quran's approach to performance can be characterized as post-behavioral and post-process. It not only considers the actional dimension of deeds but also takes into account factors such as capacity, intention, and personality structure in the agential dimension. Furthermore, it extends the evaluation of performance to include post-action transformations, both positive (repentance) and negative (nullification of deeds).This comprehensive view of performance has significant implications for performance management in Islamic contexts. It suggests that performance evaluation and development should consider not only observable behaviors and results but also the intentions, capacities, and personal growth of individuals.The study concludes that integrating these Quranic perspectives into performance management systems could lead to a more holistic and ethically grounded approach to performance evaluation and development in Islamic organizations.Future research directions include examining the concept of performance in Hadith literature, exploring the practical implications of this Quranic model in contemporary organizations, and investigating how these principles can be operationalized in performance management systems.

The purpose of the research is to conceptualize social banking in the Sepeh Bank ecosystem using the qualitative method of the grounded theory of charms constructivism. The participants included the key experts of the banking system and universities related to the subject by means of sequential targeted sampling (snowball and theoretical sampling) and with maximum diversity in the number of 13 people who, with the unstructured interview technique, collected the data in three stages of initial, centralized and theoretical coding in MAXQDA 2020 software was analyzed. The findings showed that social banking with establishment in two dimensions of responsibility and social tasks and public social banking has been affected by facilitators (effective information and public relations system, social capital and governance and government policies in the bank), shaping factors (laws and banking policies, accountability system in optimal governance, culture-oriented banking), intervening factors in the choice of strategy (profit-based banking, value co-creation and management based on performance evaluation and marketing), strategies of facing the phenomenon of social banking (digital banking and rational bureaucracy system) and the results and consequences by arising of the emergence of social banking in Sepah banking system (organizational brand foresight and customer-oriented banking). Policy solutions are related to adopting a community-oriented approach, adapting the organizational structure to social problems, consolidating social capital, responsive governance, using new technologies and digitalization in social networks.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the factors affecting talent management capabilities of conscripts.

The study is mixed in nature (qualitative and quantitative). The statistical population of this research is a group of commanders and senior training officers of the armed forces, and the sampling method is systematic and snowball type. In the qualitative part, the method of database theory was used for analysis. Data collection continued through in-depth interviews with experts until reaching theoretical saturation, and theoretical saturation was achieved by conducting 32 interviews. Then, through the questionnaire and fuzzy logic, the influence matrix of the indicators was determined and the obtained matrix was analyzed using the cartographic method. This stage was done with the participation of 12 experts and using Pajek and FCMappers software.

Based on the expert interviews conducted with experts and the use of the database model, 35 main components of the talent management of the active duty employees of the Islamic Republic of Iran were identified. After that, the identified components were analyzed using the fuzzy cartographic method.

This research led to the presentation of a model for the development of talent management capabilities of conscripts, and the cause and effect relationships between the identified factors were determined, and the effectiveness and effectiveness as well as the centrality (level of importance) of each of the indicators were determined.

 It is the disciplinary body of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This research is a qualitative research in terms of applied purpose, exploratory research method and data type. The population and statistical sample in the qualitative section including 20 martial arts experts and faculty members of the university by purposeful sampling, which was theoretically saturated with 17 interviews. The data collection tool in this study is a semi-structured interview based on the data theory of the foundation. For the validity of the interview, the method of validity, transferability, Based on the research results, causal factors 10 main concepts (infrastructure and facilities, education, research, public relations and information, economic factors, human factors, structural, individual, cultural and managerial factors), in the context section 6 main concepts (communication and interactions) Organizational support, structure and organization, management and planning, manpower and the existence of facilities and equipment), as well as 6 main concepts in the intervention sector (inappropriate perspective and attitude, poor interaction and communication, poor management and planning, individual factors, Lack of budget and credit, lack of infrastructure and facilities and lack of human resources), In the strategies section, 5 main concepts (establishment of management and planning system, training, equipment and infrastructure development, interaction development and research development) and finally, in the consequences section, 5 main categories (productivity increase, social development, communication development and Interactions, infrastructure and resource development and culture building) were identified.

Today, manufacturing companies must pay attention to environmental and social issues throughout the supply chain in order to survive. Many efforts have been made to examine the sustainable supply chain, but the agility of sustainable supply chain has been only observed in very few studies. Therefore, the aim of this study is to present an agility model of sustainable supply chain in the brick industry of Isfahan Province. This study was a developmental applied research and was done in a qualitative way. A sample of 10 experts was determined by snowball sampling who were familiar with the research. Then, thematic analysis was used to help the semi-structured interview to extract concepts, categories and elements and the interpretive-structural modeling was used to establish the relationship between elements and formation of the model. Based on the obtained resulted of thematic analysis, 11 factors were determined (namely sociability, responsiveness, compliance with laws, speed, information technology, environmental protection, competence, flexibility, executive management commitment, quality management and economics. And with the help of descriptive-structural modeling method, executive management commitment was identified as the infrastructure of the model and two factors of socialization and environmental protection were as the head of the model. To achieve sustainable supply chain agility in the bricks industry, Brick Industry executives should have the required commitment and readiness for the sustainable supply chain agility.
