Presenting the Model of an Entrepreneur from the Perspective of the Holy Quran by Using Content Analysis

The purpose of this study was to identify and extract the concepts of entrepreneurship from the Holy Quran in order to develop an entrepreneur model. To achieve this goal, three questions were asked: what are the most important components of the model entrepreneur from the perspective of the Holy Quran? What are the most important dimensions of the model entrepreneurial from the perspective of the Holy Quran? How will the validation of the designed model be carried out? This qualitative research was undertaken using content analysis method. The results of the research identified the eight components (secondary pre-organizing theme) of entrepreneurial action, entrepreneurial spirit, general entrepreneurial trait, general personality trait, religious entrepreneurial trait, God-centered religious trait, entrepreneurial ethical characteristics and individual moral characteristics with 113 basic themes. Then, a network of themes was drawn. By integrating the components, the four dimensions (primary pre-organizing themes): the dimension of specialized characteristics (entrepreneurial action, entrepreneurial spirit); dimensions of general characteristics (general characteristics of entrepreneurship, general characteristics of personality); religious characteristics (religious characteristics of entrepreneurship, God-centered religious characteristics) and the moral characteristics (ethical characteristics of entrepreneurship, individual moral characteristics) were obtained. The third dimension at 38% had the highest frequency among all dimensions. Finally, to validate the model, various analysis and review strategies used by research colleagues, Continuous Comparison Analysis (CCDA), techniques of obtaining accurate parallel information and analytical angulation were utilized.
