Assistant professor at Vali-e-Asr University of Rafsanjan, Velayat Blvd., Rafsanjan, Iran.

ABSTRACT

Recognition of the moral and economic characteristics of an Islamic manager and observance of those regulations and patterns are an important and required task in the guidance and administration of the organizations in an Islamic society. The research and studies conducted in the field of the economic and moral characteristics of a successful manager are indicative of the increasing necessity of the implementation of management principles in Islamic societies. In this regard, Imam Ali (AS) has had suggestions and recommendations for the government authorities in Nahj al-Balagha. This study is aimed at the investigation and presentation of the moral and economic characteristics of a successful manager from the viewpoint of Nahj al-Balagha. The research method is documentary and library-based, through the analysis and interpretation of the related studies data. The findings indicate that divine obedience, good temper, honesty, being affable, and patience were among the moral characteristics. Moreover, the observance of economic justice, tax collection, treatment of deprived people, and endurance against economic problems, are among the economic characteristics of a successful manager according to Nahj al-Balagha‎‎‎.

Keywords: Moral-economic characteristics , Successful manager , Imam Ali (AS) , Nahj al-Balagha , Islamic society.
