The present paper seeks to use the grounded theory to assess the economic policies of the Islamic Parliament. Research method is based on the qualitative method of grounded theory. Depth interviews were conducted with 16 representatives in the Islamic Parliament using snowball sampling. After open, selective, and axial coding of collected data, 159 primary concepts, 45 subcategories and 8 main categories were extracted. The final outcome of this study is the design of a 5-dimensional model whose dimensions are categorized into four bases of the ground, input, process components, and products. The findings of this study indicate the domination of the political climate of Iran over the policy climate, the rule of politics over economy, followed by the confrontation of legislative, administrative and executive sectors with institutional, structural and cultural challenges in the policy-making process. Therefore, it is suggested that legislators emphasize national interests by adopting a holistic approach and avoid the involvement of political approaches with the policy-making process. Also, it is necessary to form special committees in the Islamic Parliament in order to align policies with high-level documents.
