Abstract

Purpose:

This study suggests a new commitment concept in the workplace within the perspective of Islam that is rooted on Ihsan 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 Ihsan 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. The spirit and goal orientation that is built within this commitment is the spirit of Tawheed faith and al falah as a comprehensive goal.

Limitations:

As a new concept, measurement and validation scales still need to be developed.

Implication:

The concept of Ihsan 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 falah: to maintain religion, spirit, mentality, descendants and possessions. Ihsan commitment is hoped to motivate a high degree of employee engagement and employee performance.
