Islamic Work Ethics: A Systematic Literature Review
Abstract
Work cannot be successful and beneficial to others unless those involved in it uphold work ethics. From Islamic point of view, quality of work has direct link to work ethics which is derived from Qur’an and Sunnah of the Prophet (Peace be upon him). Indeed, work is part of worship (Ibadah) to Allah. However, there are handful numbers of researches examining the concept of Islamic work ethics (IWE) as well as its implications. This is because most works are done within western context. A systematic review of the present study reveals multi-dimensional concept of IWE which centered on religious values apart from its various uses. Related works on IWE were collected from online database and analysed by using matric table with reported frequencies. Suggestions were proposed for further construction of conceptual framework in the future.
