Abstract
Background: Human decisions are influenced not only by rational elements but also by circumstances, feelings, and beliefs. Understanding these factors is crucial for effective decision-making.
Objective: This study aims to design a participatory decision-making framework based on an Islamic approach. Methods: Data were collected using library resources and interviews with 48 experts. The Grounded Theory method was employed for analysis.
Results and Conclusion: The study identified key dimensions of Islamic participatory decision-making, including effective factors (Consultation, Islamic brotherhood/sisterhood, beautiful patience, Self-Knowledge), contextual variables (Stress-Free Beliefs, Moderation, Divine precepts, DIKW pyramid), deterrent factors (Poor Culture, Arrogant Leadership, Fear of Mistakes, Parochialism), and outcomes (Facilitate Decision Implementation, Employee Growth, Culturalization, Al-Falah). A central concept of Optimal Distance was introduced, encompassing 12 types of distance across three axes and practical criteria for measurement. Attention to optimal distance can enhance participatory decision-making in various situations.
