Abstract
The being-centered leadership theory is a new theory in the field of organizational leadership that is based on being (existence) rather than doing or having. This theory focuses on the leader, while organizational leadership includes the concepts of leader, follower, and situation. Accordingly, the goal of the present study is to providing a framework of holonic person-organization relationships based on the being-centered leadership theory. The philosophy of the present interdisciplinary research is interpretive and its orientation is fundamental, which has been carried out with an inductive approach, a qualitative methodological choice, and the thematic analysis method. The research data collection method is library study. The selected source is the Rumi’s Mathnavi e Ma’navi. The validity and reliability of the present study were confirmed by independently coding each of the books Step by Step to Meet God, Sea in the Jar, and Sere-Ney. According to the research findings, the holonic model of person-organization relationships includes two overarching themes. These themes include: human role (personality dimension) and organizational role (situational dimension of leader and/or follower). The model of the present research is evidence of this claim that the path of leadership in an organization requires fundamental changes in the attention paid by both leaders and followers to fulfilling human and organizational roles. The human role of all human resources whether in the position of leader or follower or leader and follower, is the spirit that governs the organization, which can be influential in achieving spiritual excellence, which is reaching God.
