Islamic Work Ethic and Employee Behavior at Work: A Bibliometric Analysis
Keywords:
behavior, ethic, Islamic, workAbstract
This bibliometric analysis examines the research landscape on Islamic Work Ethic (IWE) and employee behavior at work from 2015 to 2025, utilizing data from Scopus and visualized through VOSviewer. The study analyzes publication trends, geographical contributions, citation impact, country-specific research focus, and keyword co-occurrence to map the field’s evolution and impact. Results reveal a steady increase in publications, reflecting growing academic interest in IWE’s role in fostering ethical workplace behavior. Significant contributions emerge from Muslim-majority countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, and Pakistan, alongside Western nations, indicating IWE’s global applicability. Highly cited authors emphasize IWE’s influence on job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and ethical decision-making, while keyword clusters highlight themes such as ethical leadership and workplace spirituality. By integrating findings with literature from 2015 to 2025, the analysis underscores IWE’s multifaceted impact on employee behavior, offering practical implications for ethical organizational practices and a foundation for future interdisciplinary research.
