Human capital development is considered one of the strategic pillars for organizations to enhance employee adaptability to environmental changes. Universities and higher education institutions play a crucial role in advancing this objective. This study aims to identify and propose the optimal combination of dimensions and components for a human capital development model within the context of Islamic Azad University, with a focus on alignment with Iran’s General Administrative Policies. The research methodology involves using expert panels to extract fuzzy rules and design an analytical model, followed by the application of expert opinions and fuzzy inference in MATLAB software to analyze data and determine the optimal model structure. The findings identify five key dimensions: (1) Justice orientation with the dominant component of “job-person fit”; (2) Spiritual development of human resources with “motivation”; (3) Performance-based pay justice with “management by objectives”; (4) Knowledge-based meritocracy grounded in Islamic ethics with “integration of commitment and expertise”; and (5) Work-life balance with “socialization.” The importance of each dimension was assessed, and the maximum level of human capital development was estimated at 4.77 out of 5. Dimension scores were as follows: justice orientation (4.74), meritocracy (4.11), spiritual development (4.04), performance-based justice (4.62), and work-life balance (3.97). This proposed model is aligned with national administrative policies and can serve as a strategic framework for targeted human capital development in universities by emphasizing each dimension's significance and the existing gap to the ideal level (5).
