Moral Intelligence and Its Functions in Organization according to Islam

The ability to influence individuals has always been discussed as an important issue in the literature of organization and management. The more a managers have influence over individuals, the more capable of having them work harder and the more rewarding the work. "Moral intelligence" is the third type of power next to "managerial or organizational power" (which originates from the individual's status in organization) and "personal power" (which originates from one's personal character). Moral intelligence means the ability to see, according to moral standards, which right and which is wrong. This paper, which studies the view of Islam about the functions of moral intelligence in organization and uses a descriptive method (in terms of nature and method) and a library-based method (in terms of modus operandi and a kind of executive activity), concludes that: first, moral intelligence can contribute to improving the standard of achievement of the organization through the regulation of relations by means of focusing on and strengthening standards of morality. Second, the important functions of moral intelligence in an organization constitute trustworthiness, accountability, display of affection, toleration, good conduct, patience, justice, negligence.
