Ontology of Transcendent Theosophy and Management and Organization Studies

Management researchers have different ontological assumptions. Critical analysis of these assumptions is necessary. This article discussed the possibility of influencing the ontology of Transcendent Theosophy (al-hikmat al-muta'āliyah) on the fields of organization and management studies. Regarding the being of management, we are faced with two imaginary entities: the being of management, which is an imaginary category, and the addition of this category to duty, responsibility, and authority, which is abstracted from concrete examples of managerial behavior. These categories come into being following expedients that have been discovered by the theoretical wisdom, and to realize it, the practical knowledge along with the will, begins to forge imaginary in the name of management and organization. The requirement of such an imagination is formative intervention from the management position. Management interventions that appear in behaviors and under various concepts are limited and distinct facts. These distinctions go back to the existence of behaviors and, according to mental analysis; they represent two dimensions, fundamental and nonfundamental. Fundamental is the existence of objective behaviors and non-fundamental is the things that cause the formation of distinct concepts of behaviors. Spirituality and stability in religious belief is a way to return to the fundamental fact, which leads to a superior perception and finally a return to the self-high national politics from a philosophical point of view. Management knowledge is built upon diverse ontological assumptions, necessitating critical examination. This paper investigates the potential influence of transcendent theosophy (al-hikmat al-muta'āliyah) ontology on organizational and management studies.
