Abstract
The objective of the present study is to design and explain a model of social capital based on Imam Khomeini’s last will. Qualitative method has been used in this study; the indices and factors have been extracted through thematic analysis. The factors of social capital were extracted from Imam Khomeini’s last will. In the first place, 90 codes were found and then classified into 49 basic themes and then into 4 organizing codes. In the next step, the themes network was drawn based on the codes. Finally, social capital based on Imam Khomeini’s last will was designed that includes four general indices, i.e. Islamic capital, human capital, basic capital and cultural-structural capital. The findings of this paper indicate that proper management of these factors and indices can lead the society to excellence and success as they are based on Imam Khomeini’s last will that are compatible with the conditions prevailing the society. The executives and citizens may pay special attention to them.
