To measure job motivation, Hukman & Oldham model, including five components of skill diversity, task identity, task importance, independence, and feedback was used. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the questionnaire was estimated to be higher than 0.7, which indicated that the reliability was confirmed. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data in Smart PLS software. Confirming the proposed research model, the results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the personality traits of policymakers and their job motivation based on jihadi management. Also, among personality traits, trust in God, commitment, being revolutionary, belief in guardianship of the Islamic Jurist, self-confidence, innovation and creativity, courage and determination, success-seeking, sincerity, generosity, perseverance and double effort, awareness and knowledge seeking, responsibility, kindness, risk-taking, independence-seeking, consultability have a positive and significant relationship with their job motivation based on jihadi management in revolutionary institutions.
