Abstract
In
religious doctrines, obedience is especially important in the eyes of the
Infallibles, so that true faith is subject to intellectual and practical
submission to God and the Prophet of Islam. However, even in the face of
infallibility, it has been emphasized that obedience is based on two principles
of option and vision and the obedience should not be ignorant and algebraic.
But in the management system, regarding the command and subordination
relationship between the superior and the subordinate, several theories have
been put forward, including contingency theories explaining that there is no
single version of management, rather the management is subject to
contingencies. This is in some way opposed to the obedience subject to option
and vision. This article, in an interpretative way and by analyzing the
qualitative content of the verses and narrations, presents the evidence that
the obedience is based on option and vision, and presents its infallible
patterns, and it seeks to present the view that when it is forbidden for
infallibles to commit algebraic and ignorant surrender, this prohibition
applies to the non-infallibles as well and it should be considered in the
Islamic management, one of its important mundane outcomes being the
consolidation of the spiritual and physical discipline of the staff.
