“…The business decision‐makers are free to choose their options; however, religious principles provide a framework to choose the right option. The Islamic values and ethics are based on the verses in the Holy Qur'an and Hadith that may also be quoted in other religious thoughts, while a monotheistic view may differentiate between Muslims and other followers (Rafiki & Abdul‐Wahab, ). Findings in the Holy Quran also confirm the above outcomes.…”

PURPOSE This research was performed to compare Islamic and Western ethical values in health services management. APPROACH Whittemore and Knafl's integrative review was employed. FINDINGS Eight final categories of Islamic values (i.e., honesty, piety, foresight, dignity, justice, good temperament, widened heart, and certainty to God) and nine final categories of Western values in health services management (i.e., honesty, freedom, forgiveness, altruism, justice, dignity, responsibility, tolerance, and wisdom) were extracted in this study. CONCLUSIONS The results showed some discrepancy between Islamic and Western ethical values, which are partially due to a different definition of values in Islam and the West. IMPLICATIONS The comparison of ethical values can facilitate the exchange of intellectual, cultural, and experimental ideas between Islamic and Western healthcare management.

“…Below is a summary of the IWEs' items as recommended by Ali (1988) Previous studies (Al Habtoor, 2001;Yousef, 2001;Ali, 2005;Ali & Al-Owaihan, 2008) have approved on the adoption of the IWE in management, business operations and economic undertakings.

In this era of knowledge-based economy, intellectual capital (IC) is considered as a critical component in an organizational effort to emphasize on accomplishing competitive advantages and enhancing value added for the organization. Besides concentrating only on new product innovations, small and medium enterprises should also be engaged in managing IC in accordance to Islamic teachings. An understanding to Islamic ethics and its upshots for superior performance facilitates entrepreneurs in managing IC strategically. This paper aims to re-scrutinize several contributions in Islamic ethics and IC in SME entrepreneurial researches, ascertain the main elements of IC as well as Islamic work ethics (IWE); and thus show how IWE is relevant for research in the area of IC.

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.
