The present study aimed to identify the components of organizational self-awareness of educational managers from the teachings of Nahj al-Balagha. The method of this qualitative research was content analysis. First, through a library study, the components of organizational self-awareness were obtained from the perspective of non-Islamic studies, Then, based on that, the components of organizational self-awareness from Nahj al-Balagha were identified through documentary analysis using a deductive-inductive method. Finally, based on the identified components, the organizational self-awareness of educational managers in schools was inferred using the content analysis method.The study population in the first part was library resources, Nahj al-Balagha, and in the second part, experts were school administrators. The sampling was carried out in a purposive manner until category saturation was reached by selecting 15 people.In the second part, a semi-structured interview tool was used. Content validity and triangulation were used to assess validity, and time index was used for reliability. In the first part, the network of concepts was identified using the Atride Stirling content analysis method, and in the second part, coding was done in three stages: open/axial and selective.The findings in the first part of the thematic analysis of Nahjul-Balagha included overarching themes, organizing themes, and basic themes.The results of open, axial, and selective coding of the findings were in four dimensions with components including: God-consciousness, prophetic self-consciousness, individual self-consciousness, and organizational self-consciousness, each of which included sub-components as follows: God-consciousness included monotheistic awareness of the nature of existence in the organization; prophetic self-consciousness included truth-consciousness, human self-consciousness, Individual self-awareness included spiritual and intuitive self-awareness; organizational self-awareness also included subcomponents of self-awareness regarding the task, policies, organizational climate and culture, and interactions, self-awareness regarding the school's internal environment (institutional, administrative, technical core), and external environment at the global, historical, and social levels.In the end, it was concluded that educational administrators will be able to respond to today's new and complex needs in schools by acquiring individual and organizational knowledge, believing in God, and possessing monotheistic knowledge.
