Data collection was conducted through library research and field studies, utilizing document review, expert interviews, and questionnaires as primary data collection tools. The qualitative statistical population comprised university faculty members, human resource management specialists, senior managers of governmental organizations, and experts in the field of Islamic organizational management.
