Abstract
Among the virtuous organizations, the organizations in charge of religious holy places, despite their impact on creating and maintaining social capital, have received less attention in scientific researches related to organization and management, especially from the dimension of diagnosis components. Therefore, the present study has investigated the components of social capital in the holy shrine of Razavi and the holy shrines of Hazrat Fatima Masoumeh and Hazrat Abdulazim Hasni, with a qualitative approach. In this research, a comprehensive combination of meta-synthesis, theme analysis and interviews were used. Theoretical data were collected from 22 diagnosis models and some selected documents from the studied organizations. Operational data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 18 selected experts using judgmental and snowball samplying until theoretical saturation. The validity of the research was confirmed by referring to various methods, including the quality of the primary studies, using independent analysts, reviews and transparency. The validity of interviews was confirmed by the retest method. This research is the first attempt on religious holy places in Islamic Republic of Iran, in which 258 themes extracted from library data were combined with themes derived from ideas and opinions of experts. Based on the findings, the components of social capital diagnosis in religious holy places include fundamental values, symbolic capital, organizational competencies, spiritual capital, people's capital and cultural capital. These components strengthen social capital and high human values in the Islamic society by creating trust, interaction, and cooperation among the members of the society and influencing the hearts and souls.
