An Introduction to the Philosophical Principles of Islamic Management with an Emphasis on Anthropology

One of the most prominent features of the human civilization is the advent of social organizations and their extension, which has made management one of the key pillars of the human societies in today's world. The success of management in any society depends on its coordination with the school and the cultural values of that society, which is referred to as "Islamic management" in our community. The main factor of this management is the Islamic values and Divine criteria, while benefiting from the scientific and management frameworks and structures. The management will achieve true success, if it utilizes the Islamic rules, strategies and values. In fact, the Islamic management, based on the Divine values provides the perfection of the human being as the most important goal in the management. Using a descriptive-analytical method, and while discussing the roots of Islamic management, this paper studies the axiological, anthropological and ontological foundations of management from a monotheistic worldview. Accordingly, based on the purpose of the human creation, which is closeness to God, and due to the status of God in the man's perfection, Islamic management is an essential factor to fulfill the Divine rules and commands.
