A Study of the Effect of Islamic and Western Anthropological Views on the Value System of Organizations

There are as many theories about man as there are schools in the world. The human sciences of these theories are as different as the different views shown about man. The present paper conducts a comparative study on the anthropology of the different dimensions of man such as creation, essence, aim of life and man's nature according to Islam and western thinkers, and their effects on the different domains of organization management. A library method and a descriptive-comparative approach are used in this study which is concerned with how anthropology influences the value system of organization. Indentifying the roots of the principles of the value system of organization in different the domains of management, this paper concludes that the distinction between value systems of organization in Islamic societies and that of non-Islamic societies is rooted in their respective distinct value systems and, in turn, in the way man and dimensions of anthropology are viewed. Given this, it can be said that religious anthropology is the main source of organization management and the value system which governs it in Islamic societies.
