چکیده

این پژوهش به تحلیل الگوی رهبری سید حسن نصرالله به‌عنوان یک بازیگر مؤثر در فرایند تمدن‌سازی نوین اسلامی می‌پردازد و در پی آن است تا نشان دهد چگونه تعامل میان شرایط ساختاری، مکانیسم‌های روانی‌ ـ ‌‌اجتماعی و قابلیت‌های فردی، موجب شکل‌گیری رهبری مؤثر در موقعیت‌های بحرانی می‌شود. در این راستا، پژوهش از چهارچوبی نظری و یکپارچه بهره می‌گیرد که شامل نظریۀ کاریزماتیک ماکس وبر در سطح کلان، نظریۀ روان‌شناختی پست در سطح میانی و نظریۀ شخصیت گرینستاین در سطح خرد است. یافته‌ها حاکی از آن است که موفقیت رهبری نصرالله حاصل تعامل پیچیدۀ سه مؤلفۀ کلیدی است: نخست، شرایط ساختاری بحرانی که زمینه‌ساز ظهور رهبری تمدن‌ساز می‌شود؛ دوم، مکانیسم‌های روانی‌ ـ‌ اجتماعی که پیوندی عمیق میان رهبر و پیروان ایجاد می‌کند و سوم، قابلیت‌های فردیِ استثنایی که امکان بهره‌برداری مؤثر از این شرایط را فراهم می‌آورد. درمجموع، این پژوهش نشان می‌دهد که رهبری موفق در تمدن نوین اسلامی نیازمند توازن و هم‌افزایی میان این سه سطح تحلیلی است و رهبری کاریزماتیک می‌تواند ازطریق ادغام این سطوح، نقشی محوری در تحقق تمدن اسلامی ایفا کند.

چکیده [English]

Purpose: This research analyzes Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's leadership paradigm as a key figure in the development of a new Islamic civilization. The study examines how the interaction between structural conditions, psychosocial mechanisms, and individual capabilities contributes to effective leadership during times of crisis and transformation. The research question identifies the multifaceted factors that have allowed Nasrallah to rise as an influential civilizational leader, despite facing significant regional and international challenges. This investigation examines how Nasrallah has balanced traditional religious authority with modern political leadership, ideological consistency with tactical flexibility, and local constituencies with regional geopolitical considerations.
Methodology: To address these questions, the study employs a multi-level theoretical framework that integrates three complementary perspectives: Max Weber’s theory of charismatic authority at the macro level to analyze structural conditions, Post’s psychological theory at the meso level to examine leader-follower dynamics, and Greenstein’s personality theory at the micro level to evaluate individual leadership traits and capabilities. The research methodology employs qualitative analysis of speeches, interviews, policy decisions, and leadership behaviors, all contextualized within the historical and geopolitical landscape of the Middle East. Through this methodological approach, the study identifies patterns and principles that define effective civilizational leadership in contemporary Islamic contexts. Additionally, this research employs critical discourse analysis and historical-comparative methods to examine the evolution of Nasrallah's leadership over more than three decades. It explores how his leadership has adapted to regional and international contextual changes, identifying the dynamic mechanisms of adaptation and adjustment in his performance.
Findings: The findings reveal that Nasrallah's leadership effectiveness arises from the dynamic interaction of three critical components. First, the presence of structural crisis conditions creates both challenges and opportunities for transformative leadership. These factors include the failure of conventional state structures to address fundamental grievances, the existence of geopolitical vacuums, aspirations for resistance against perceived injustices, and the quest for genuine Islamic models of governance that effectively respond to contemporary challenges while preserving cultural authenticity. Second, sophisticated psychosocial mechanisms establish profound emotional and ideological connections between the leader and their followers, fostering a collective identity and shared purpose. These mechanisms encompass compelling narrative frameworks that integrate religious symbolism with contemporary political realities, the cultivation of trust through demonstrated
integrity, and the establishment of institutional structures that reinforce ideological commitments through effective service delivery. Third, exceptional individual capabilities include strategic vision, communication skills, emotional intelligence, moral authority, and decision-making abilities under conditions of uncertainty. The research indicates that a unique combination of authenticity, moral courage, loyalty to core ideals, tactical intelligence, and strategic patience has enabled Nasrallah to gain widespread trust not only among his direct followers but also within broader Islamic communities. The study identifies several innovations in Nasrallah’s leadership approach, including his development of strengths rather than weaknesses in authority; his cultivation of distributed leadership capabilities; his emphasis on intellectual development alongside military capabilities; and his ability to foster cross-sectarian alliances despite operating in a deeply sectarian environment. This study contributes to leadership theory by demonstrating the limitations of Western-centric leadership models when applied to non-Western contexts that have strong religious dimensions. The findings challenge simplistic dichotomies between traditional and modern leadership styles, revealing complex hybridizations that simultaneously draw on religious authority, national legitimacy, and personal capability. The research also enhances our understanding of effective leadership in conditions of extreme adversity and resource constraints. It suggests that conventional resource-based theories of leadership may require modification when applied to resistance movements operating under existential threats.
Conclusion: The research concludes that successful leadership in the development of modern Islamic civilization requires a balance and synergy among structural opportunities, psychosocial processes, and personal competencies. Charismatic leadership emerges and thrives through the integration of these elements, creating virtuous cycles of increasing effectiveness and legitimacy. This study enhances the broader
understanding of transformative leadership within religious and cultural contexts, providing insights into how charismatic figures can influence civilizational processes by effectively navigating complex socio-political landscapes while maintaining legitimacy. The findings may contribute to the development of new leadership models in contemporary Islamic movements and offer a framework for a deeper understanding of civilization-building capacities in the Islamic world.
