The study found that the Islamic perspective views values as manifested from one’s worldview, which is based upon divine principles. Moreover, individual and organizational values are developed and fostered through two authentic sources, the Holy Quran and the Hadith. Individuals and organizational conducts are aimed at achieving worldly and superordinate goals of getting rewards from Allah SWT. Conversely, discussions on the concept of values in Western literature generally separate values from a person’s religion and deeply held belief, while organizational values are generally derived from the founders’ desire to institutionalize their firms.
