Ihsan Commitment: A New Concept of Workplace Commitment in Islamic Perspective

Abstract

Purpose: This study suggests a new commitment concept in the workplace within the perspective of Islam that is rooted on ih. san¯ values. Methodology: This research uses a meta-analysis method. We took the top ten articles in the Q1 category from the Scopus data base using the Publish or Perish application with the title word organizational commitment. Findings: This study provides a new color in the concept of work commitment with included Islamic religious values such as ih. san¯ value, where the concept offered by previous research is stating that work commitment is a form of transactional relationship between organizations and employees built from social exchange theory. Significance: This study contributes to the development of a commitment concept in an Islamic perspective. The result of this study provides insight and a contemporary concept in building employee commitment for increasing participation and human performance. Limitations: As a new concept, measurement and validation scales still need to be developed. Implications: The concept of ih. san¯ commitment is hoped to offer a strong commitment founded on the spirit of faith and a wider goal within work activities in building commitment that is al fala¯h. : to maintain religion, spirit, mentality, descendants and possessions.
