Abstract

Forming one of the pillars of the human system, organization and management, on the one hand, have thematic and civilizational longevity, and on the other hand, are mentioned in the Islamic system. Professional ethics is one of the unknown dimensions of the managerial value system in the organizations. Professional ethics and its components in the organization can be effective in improving the administrative system based on Islamic teachings. By citing verses and narratives in the form of detailed explanations and a researcher-made table, this paper gives in a conceptual model of professional ethics in the organization. This study is applied in terms of purpose, qualitative in terms of data type, and comparative content analysis in terms of research nature. The statistical population of this research is all documents, religious texts, and exegetic books. Piety, reliance on God, justice, honesty, trusteeship, responsibility, amiability, and farsightedness are considered as the main components of professional ethics in this article. In this report, we try to explain and interpret the intended ethical components in the organization using the qur’ānic verses and Islamic narrations in order to set the grounds for the human resources of organizations to achieve a value-based organization. The findings of the study reveal that the observation of professional ethics principles in the organization by employees and managers is of utmost importance, and the observation of professional ethics principles can be considered a competitive advantage in the organizations.
