Abstract

The importance and role of human resources in achieving the goals of organizations has caused many efforts to be made in the last few decades in common management to design employee empowerment models, despite the need for the existence of empowerment models derived from the teachings of the Holy Quran. As well as the many discussions and conversations that have taken place in this field among seminary and university theorists, unfortunately, there is still less attention paid to how to train and empower human resources and the factors that affect the Quranic fruitfulness. The purpose of the present research; presenting and explaining the model of factors affecting the empowerment of human resources from the perspective of the Quran means extracting its concepts and components from the teachings of the Holy Quran. This goal has been pursued using the research method “Data-based Theory”. Therefore, the data of the present research; based on this method, were coded in three stages (open, central and selective coding). The research findings were the identification of 254 concepts, 24 components and 3 dimensions. The findings of the research indicate the achievement of a model of empowerment, which has three factors (individual, organizational and environmental) effective on the empowerment of human resources, individual factors; including tact and foresight; diligence and perseverance; knowledge and skills, etc., organizational factors include: meritocracy; delegation of authority and respect and appreciation, etc., environmental factors include: organizational culture and values; the existence of behavioral patterns; the economic status of the organization; The cultural-social situation of the organization and the political-security situation of the organization
