Abstract

One of the important aspects of social systems, which is important in directing and identifying them, is their objectives and consequently the indexes for evaluation of their performance.
Attempts have been made in this study to infer evaluation indexes from sources such as Nahj al-Balaghah and Gorar ul Hekam wa Durar ul-Kalem through content analysis and on the basis of structural-interpretative modeling, their connection with each other has been explained and classified. The statistical population of this study included 15 experts of religious sources and sampling was done through theoretical method. The findings of the research indicate that the objectives of social systems can be divided into two broad categories, i.e. positive and negative. The positive objectives of social system include raising of human beings and proximity to God; and the negative objectives include alleviation of poverty, removal of oppression, removal of fear, removal of obstacles to freewill, removal of dependency, removal of abjection, removal of ignorance, and removal of devastation. These two categories of objectives have inseparable ties with each other.
