Axiology of Contingency Management from Quranic Perspective

The contingency theory challenging the classical and neo-classical approaches, emphasizes that in each context, managers’ decisions must be evaluated based on a correct understanding of the “situation”; Because this issue has a decisive role in the efficiency and effectiveness of organizational goals. The present research seeks to criticize and review the axiology of this school of thought, which has a fundamental role in the attitudes and shaping of theoretical norms and model of behavioral intention and pattern and tools for measuring the actions, speech, and behavior of others, and its decision-making and operationalization rooted in it to be analyzed by referring to the revelatory word and using the combined method based on exploratory, meta-synthetic and interrogative/ cross-examination [istintaqi] methods. The research findings indicate that the values presented in contingency management in the field of instrumental and ultimate values such as importance to the environment, adoption of multiple styles, group participation, coordination, adaptation, prudence, cohesion and correlation and organizational survival are considered merely material and conventional dimensions, while the Quran emphasizes that in the matter of axiology of beyond-material factors such as occult factors, transcendence, divine nearness and pleasure, prudence and utilitarianism corresponding to worldly and otherworldly interests and cooperation should be considered also. The final result of this research is that the Quran pays attention to the requirements of time, place and environment and the secondary rules have a special place in the geometry of Quranic cognition; But principles, fixed rules, and fundamental values never change under any circumstances, but the subjects can change.
