Summary: | Ethical management is a crucial component of any organisation. While Western
scholars have extensively explored the theory of ethical management in organisations,
there have been limited contributions from Islamic scholars, serving as a major
guideline. This article aims to shed light on al-Ghazali’s perspective on organisational
management theory. According to al Ghazali, ethical management within an
organisation entails a fundamental principle: placing the concept of Tawhid at the
forefront. This means ensuring that the organisation's actions and decisions are aligned
with the unity and oneness of God. Next, the organisation should focus on implementing
the four main aspects of management: planning (al-Takhtit), organisation (al-Tanzim),
supervision (al-Wiqayah) and leadership (al-Qiyadah). Incorporating these practices
can significantly impact the overall culture of the organisation, promoting an ethical
and harmonious environment by making religion as the foundation. |
