Because of threatening the entity of a nation, it causes implementing all mental, intellectual and practical strengths of a community, to be used. One of the most used knowledge's in the war, has been management. On the other hand, the dominant organizational culture is the key criteria for success or failure of an organization. In this paper, by studding and analyzing the dominant culture of Iranian forces during the 8 year of imposed war, we try to reach to a desired organizational culture for Iranian institutions. The conceptual framework for this analysis is the three level model of Edgar Shein. The methodology of this research is a thematic analysis of numerous documents and different interviews. Results show that Jihadi organizational culture, in the most basic levels (beliefs, assumptions and intrinsic values) in different times is a driving force toward change and excellence although in the level of artifacts and instrumental values can vary according to the goal and mission of the organization.     UR - https://jomc.ut.ac.ir/article_56505.html L1 - https://jomc.ut.ac.ir/article_56505_e49960636bde55956b24b8ea517eb7dd.pdf ER -
