Abstract: (1507 Views)
Purpose: The present research, intends to formulate and propose a theoretical basis of administrative development for the Seventh Development Plan, along with the upstream documents.
Methodology: This research was of evaluation type and attempted to use the evaluation process method to formulate a theoretical basis of administrative development with an emphasis on the Seventh Development Plan.
Findings: The results of the research show that there is no dependable theoretical basis for developing program rules in the field of administrative reform. Therefore, by identifying different theoretical views in the field of administrative reform and by selecting appropriate criteria in the light of upstream documents, both the evaluated theories of administrative development and the view of transcendental values management are proposed as a suitable theoretical basis for administrative development.
Originality: Studies have been conducted to select a theoretical basis for administrative development in Iran with an approach of Islamic governance. This study was able to propose a defensible theoretical basis for formulating program rules in the field of administrative development for the Seventh Development Plan in Iran by focusing on the evaluation methodology of theoretical views.
