A systematic review of quantitative studies on Islamic work ethics as an intervening variable

In an Islamic society, an organization must maintain and evaluate the performance of employees and organizational performance under the guidance of Islamic teachings. Although studies in this field have been conducted in recent years, research trends are not clear due to the short time of introduction and development of this technology, in addition, knowledge synthesis has not been done to conclude about the evolutionary nature of this issue and develop its theories. This study used the paradigm funnel method to fill this gap and investigate the research. For this purpose, 105 articles from 2000 to 2021 were reviewed and after selecting the articles, 94 articles were identified and classified. The findings indicate the focus of articles on the level of specific theories and the lack of articles in the field of ontology and basic hypotheses. This study will help researchers to better understand the research process, familiarity with the concepts and components and identify the existing research gap. Work ethic in Islam is the expectations of a person's relationship to his behavior at work. This includes his responsibility, cooperation, commitment, sacrifice, creativity and social relationships. Islamic work ethic (IWE) is an important concept that affects the work pattern of employees in organizations because it requires the introduction of Islamic principles in the behavior and performance of employees.
