Organizational Behaviour In Islam

ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR: Organizational Behavior is the study of individuals and their behavior within the context of the organization in a workplace setting. It is an interdisciplinary field that includes sociology, psychology, communication and management.
Behavior means the manner of conducting oneself and can be defined as anything said, done, decided or holding belief in. It includes the activities or responses of an individual or a group to the environment around. Human behavior, despite its disparity in mode and purpose, is indeed a series of closely related processes leading to a lifelike, fruitful and creative reality. Any action performed by us passes through several stages since its inception as a simple idea until it becomes an objective and effective fact in our external world of action, after having been generated and formulated in the soul. With regard to the vital importance attached to the types and goals of human actions on whom depends the ultimate destiny and prosperity of mankind, Islam has laid down welldefined rules and regulations to organize behavior for the benefit of the whole humanity at large.

PRINCIPLE OF ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR IN ISLAM:

It is a well-established fact that ideas and social principles, prevalent at a certain time and place, continue to wield their influence long afterwards, in forming attitudes and behavior of coming generations. How beautifully the Holy Qur'an depicts the negative influence exercised by erroneous ideas, manners and customs of previous generations on posterity: They said: Nay, we found our fathers doing so. Holy Quran (26:74) "And thus, We did not send before you any warner in a town, but those who led easy lives in it said: Surely we found our fathers on a certain course, and surely we are followers of their footsteps. (The warner) said: What! Even if I bring to you a course more upright than that on which you found your fat hers? They said: Sure/v we are unbelievers in that with which YOU are sent. Holy Quran (43: 23-24) Likewise, the Holy Book describes the effects of a good, healthy and progressive environment in molding the attitudes of later generations: "And (as for) those who believe and their offspring follow them in faith, We will unite with them their offspring and We will not diminish to them aught of their work; every man is responsible for what he shall have wrought. Holy Quran (52:21)

"I have followed the religion of my fathers -Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. it is not for us to associate anything with Allah. This is indeed a grace of Allah upon us, and upon the people; but most of the people do not thank. Holy Quran (12:38) By pinpointing these facts, it is the prime objective of Islamic laws and regulations to build human conduct and behavior on a virtuous and humane basis so that we can think, behave and decide correctly and decisively in the light of these heavenly teachings. Guided by this concept, mankind can avoid confusion and error and come to have a clear and wise judgment and outlook that will enable us to lead a fruitful and creative life. Then We set you on the right way of religion, therefore follow it, and do not follow the low desires of those who do not know. Holy Quran (45:18) Since this heavenly system is the only source of peace, tranquility and happiness manifesting Allah's All-merciful and All-compassionate Will, mankind has been commanded to live according to these divine laws and instructions. Every one has a direction to which he turns, therefore hasten to do good deeds; wherever you are, Allah will bring you all together. Surely Allah has power over all things. Holy Quran (2:148) We made them Imams who guided (people) by Our command, and We revealed to them the doing of good.... Holy Quran (21:73)
