Abstract: This study attempts to propose a new model of management (jihadi management model). The statistical population includes knowledgeable experts and senior staff and managers of organisations. The sample size (n = 50) is determined based on the snowball method. To collect information, library studies and semi-structured interviews are carried out. Moreover, Delphi method is used along with the researcher-made questionnaire. Likewise, to evaluate the research questions, the statistical methods of single sample t-test and confirmatory factor analysis are used. For data analysis, SPSS version 23 is also used. Based on the results, the jihadi management model includes 76 indicators categorised in four sub-components of the roles, the duties, the skills, and the abilities of the manager and in two aspects (behavioural and cultural). The indicators of the behavioural dimension emphasise the type of manager's behaviour. On the other hand, the cultural dimension indicators have a cultural, value, and spiritual significance.
