MERITOCRACY IN QURAN AND PERSIAN LITERATURE

Abstract

This article tries to investigate Quran perspectives on the governance of the eminent rulers and the necessity of the ruling of the competent leaders in opinion of some Persian literary men. Obviously, sociological and anthropological issues and criticizing the ruling ways are considered in Persian literature. Undoubtedly, it is not easy to refer to these subjects especially in the ruling era of weak directors. Iranian Islamic society has own particular characteristics and since management has a direct relationship with culture of a society, thus the culture should be studied and the rules discovered in order to identify the principles of management. Therefore, employment of managerial methods through interpreting the literature and religion would not be possible by considering social needs. Management science is based on the survey of the rules and principles of humanity and studying individuals personality traits. Utilization of the techniques and equipments aid the organizations to achieve their goals.
