Motivation in Islam: Intertwine loop model

This article presents the ideas of scholars about factors of motivation, and then introduces motivation theory in Islam under the title of "the intertwine loops model". This model has been derived from Imam Aliʹs words, in which human beings, according to their actions and worships, are categorized in three classes including traders, slaves and nobles. Combination of these three classesʹ makes seven types of personalities which are affected by the environmental and internal factors and therefore, change their states in different times. Flexibility, intertwine loops instead of hierarchy, emphasis on human intention, accepting human complexity and having chaotic behavior, comprehensiveness and inclusion are some characteristics of this model. Generalizing of this anecdote to managerial issues, feasibility study of grading factors, levels of model applications and clarification of model characteristics according to the main concepts of chaos theory, have been argued briefly.
