Investigation of the Epistemology of the School of Human Relations Management from the Perspective of the Holy Quran

Epistemology is a scale and measurement criterion. In the science of the school of human relations management, the quality of organizational phenomena is measured by science and the position of science itself is also measured by epistemology. Epistemology is related to understanding the roots, contexts, nature and validity of sciences. Therefore, among the foundations of the mentioned school, one of the most important ones is epistemology as the axis and circuit of analysis of many management processes and organizational issues, without its correct understanding, organizations may face a serious challenge in facing individuals and also, the direction of their behavior in the organization should be faced. Epistemology in the mentioned school is formed from four components namely nature, subject, tool, source and validity, which are examined and criticized in this article using the inferential (istintaqi) method. The findings of the research indicate that the Holy Quran did not consider only reliance on reason and human findings to be sufficient for knowledge, and that experience, sense and induction are the first steps for complete and sure knowledge, which relies on heart faith, intellectual and narrative proofs (Quran and Sunnah) which has a realistic nature with two vertical views (with the Creator) and horizontal (the behavior of the creature and the whole being); from the Quran’s point of view, the tools of knowledge are not only inductive, such as observation and experiment, based on human behavior; rather, its sources have a wide range such as revelation, reason, heart, sense and the whole existence, which has unlimited validity and has a different point of view compared to the mentioned school
