Exploration of Structural Decision-Making Components Based on the thoughts of Jalaleddin Mohammad Mowlavi

Decision-making is a foundational element in both individual and organizational contexts, drawing significant scholarly attention in the field of management. Theories in decision-making are underpinned by foundational assumptions that stem from differing ontological and epistemological paradigms. Thus, exploring the critical topic of decision-making through the lens of Iranian-Islamic texts gains particular importance in addressing these theoretical underpinnings. This study aims to examine the structural components of decision-making based on the thought of Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi. The research methodology integrates several layers: interpretive in terms of paradigm; exploratory in terms of logic; qualitative in terms of strategy; case study in terms of research method; descriptive-exploratory in terms of its methodological nature; document-based in terms of data collection tools; and thematic analysis as the analytical approach. Through this methodology, the research identified 224 descriptive codes, 28 interpretive codes, and 6 overarching themes: 1.Attention to Divine Will, 2.Decision and Action, 3.The Role of Divine Influence in Decision-Making, 4.Growth through Decision-Making, 5.Errors and Failures in Decision-Making, 6.Determination in Decision Implementation. The exploration of the structural components of decision-making, as inspired by the thought of Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi, contributes to the enrichment of existing theoretical frameworks in the field of decision-making.
