Abstract
The Purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of work ethics, which is explored through Qur’anic approach of the maqasid. The study of work ethic in the maqasid perspective is an ongoing effort to construct the Qur’anic concept of work ethic. While the theories of work ethic are widely available in various disciplines, in the discipline of Psychology, the analysis of Islamic work ethic remains a desideratum. This is due to the fact, that the specialist literature regarding management and organizational psychology rarely deals with this topic on a systematic basis. The concept of Islamic work ethic which is widely cited and used in organizational research studies is normally reduced to critical evaluation of the sources. This is due to a number of reasons among which the main is the lack of anthological basis. Moreover, in many works on Islamic work ethic the verses of the Holy Qur’an do not significantly well reflect the concept of work ethic. It is also important to stress that Holy Qur’an has its own view on the phenomenon of work. In its essence the latter is never separated from life. This fact invites to introduce the maqasid approach. The reasons are as follows: 1). It provides a systematic philosophical basis (ontology, epistemology and axiology) of conceptual development based on the Holy ‘.Holy Qur’an. The maqasid approach sees creation (human being and other creations in their entirety) as created with a purpose (maqasid, in Arabic; or maksud, in Indonesian). Within the “frame of purpose of the creation,” the construct of ethic is developed 2). The maqasid approach goes about the understanding of the Qur’anic verses related to specific area in a comprehensive and systematic manner, by looking into its semantics from the original Arabic word, and then examined its relationship with other related verses of the Holy Book. 3). The Holy Qur’an is in fact also a system of ethics; as such it comprises ethical principles related to work within the framework of the purpose of creation and life.
Highlights
As the world is moving towards a higher purpose of sustaining life and the balance of living environment, the way people see the reality of work and how it should be done becomes a recurrent issue that invites a better research and thorough understanding
This definition shows that they consider the IWE as an ethical construct, which is not directly connected to the reality. It implies the moral, economic, psychological, social and religious criteria, which were clearly mentioned. It appears that earlier studies on work ethics, namely the Islamic work ethics, still give ample space for refinement and further development, especially when it necessarily refers to the main source of ethical guidance, the Holy Qur’an
The purpose of this article is to provide a critical review of the current discussion of work ethic, and especially Islamic work ethic
