Presenting the strategy and practical solutions of institutionalizing the components and indicators of Jihad of Tabyin in Faraja (case study: West Azarbaijan province)

The objective of this research is to develop strategies and practical solutions for institutionalizing the components and indicators of the "Jihad of Tabyin" within Faraja (Iran's Law Enforcement Force). This study employs a mixed-methods approach with both qualitative and quantitative designs conducted simultaneously. In the qualitative phase, a phenomenological approach was used, while the quantitative phase adopted a descriptive-survey method. The theoretical framework and literature review were developed through document and library-based research. In the quantitative phase, two questionnaires on wisdom-based leadership and management were administered. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted to identify the study’s key indicators. A matrix approach was applied to analyze and recommend suitable strategies for institutionalizing the "Jihad of Tabyin" components. The research sample consisted of 270 personnel from the West Azerbaijan Province Police Headquarters, chosen for their knowledge and experience relevant to the study’s focus. A random sampling method was used, resulting in 157 completed questionnaires. The findings highlight that knowledge management plays a significant role within the studied community, underscoring the importance of knowledge creation and organization, both of which have substantial value and relatively strong standing. However, knowledge storage and sharing indicators, along with knowledge-based performance, were found to be insufficient. Additionally, organizational culture emerged as a major barrier to knowledge sharing, especially in organizations where job security and advancement are tied to individual expertise, and where knowledge serves as a source of personal power.
