Designing a Model of Jihadi Organization with an Approach on the Experience of Jahade Sazandegi

Introduction: Jahade Sazandegi as one of the revolutionary institutions has played an effective role in the economic and civil development of deprived rural areas as well as war engineering in the eight years of the Holy Defense. Today, despite economic sanctions and also facing natural crises such as floods or earthquakes, modeling structural experiences in this institution is very important. Given the experience of jihadi management in the country and after the Islamic Revolution in organizations such as Jahade Sazandegi, the main activities of these organizations have been to help the deprived sections of society and also the economic and civil development of rural areas. Even now, jihadi management is clearly experienced in situations where natural or human crises occur; for example, many jihadist camps or jihadist projects have been active in recent years, for crises such as earthquakes or floods, in the region. Facing many problems in the country, the jihadist forces in the form of an organization went to the affected areas to solve these crises.
Aim of the research: The purpose of this research is to design a model of jihadi organization with an approach to the experience of Jahade Sazandegi. In this regard, the sub-objectives of the research are determined based on the identification of causal, contextual, intervening factors, strategies and consequences of the jihadist organization.
Methodology: The present study is in the paradigm layer of meta-positivism and interpretation. Also, the present study is in the category of developmental research in terms of purpose. In terms of deductive or inductive, due to the qualitative nature of the research approach, it is inductive research. In terms of collecting thematic literature and specialized backgrounds, it is a library study and in terms of collecting qualitative data in a specific community, it is a field research. On the other hand, the strategy of the present study is grounded theory in which a subject is explored and understood. The instrument for collecting qualitative data in this research is interview.
Participants and sampling method: The research environment in the present study includes managers and former officials of Jahade Sazandegi who have had managerial experiences as well as participation in eight years of the Holy Defense. The sampling method in this research is theoretical sampling. In this regard, 20 interviews were conducted among members of the research environment.
Data analysis method: To design this model, grounded theory strategy with Strauss and Corbin approach has been used. Grounded theory strategy with the approach of Strauss and Corbin is considered as a system of communication in which the researcher can test the interrelated nature of events. In this regard, the stages of grounded theory strategy with the approach of Strauss and Corbin are classified into three steps of open, axial and selective coding. The questions of the present study are based on the paradigm derived from the grounded theory strategy with the approach of Strauss and Corbin, which includes outputs such as causal factors, contextual factors, intervening factors, strategies and consequences.
Findings: Based on the results of open and axial coding, the causal conditions of the jihadi organization include factors such as the goals and motives of jihad, structures, physical environment and mental factors. These factors directly affect the central phenomenon in the model of jihadi organization with an approach to the experience of Jahade Sazandegi. On the other hand, in order to implement the organization, interfering factors in the implementation of the jihadist organization with an approach to the experience of constructive jihad, include such issues as managerial challenges, cultural challenges, organizational challenges and legal challenges. As mentioned, these challenges and obstacles also affect the implementation strategies of the jihadi organization with an approach to the experience of Jahade Sazandegi. These strategies include the formation of shadow organizations, mass media, virtual media, and ideological management. On the other hand, in order to implement the jihadi organization with an approach to the experience of Jahade Sazandegi, the foundations and requirements must be created to provide the grounds for creating space for management based on ideology. These factors affect the implementation strategies of the shadow organization with an approach to the experience of Jahade Sazandegi. The underlying factors of implementing a jihadi organization with an approach to the experience of Jahade Sazandegi include such things as jihadi culture, jihadi awareness, and martyrdom. The consequences of jihadi organization also include such things as developing the capacities of jihadi volunteers, improving jihadi strategies, and the sustainable development of deprived areas.
