Abstract
The lack of values in management has been resulted in discouragement, misuse of power, disunity, selfishness, and other negative repercussions. This can be proven by the collapse of large profitable companies, such as Enron and WorldCom, which have been known, caused by ethical issues. Therefore, organizations need to nurture and maintain good values. Management from the Islamic perspective has highlighted abundance of values underpinned by the Quran and Prophetic traditions. Since the 1980s, Malaysian government has consistently exhibited a tendency to internalize Islamic values in its administration policies. The country also established several Islamic standards in relation to management system which largely emphasize on Islamic values. This article reflects on Malaysian effort in internalizing Islamic values. Subsequently, this article discusses the apparent trend, including several common supporting factors. Finally, this article concludes with prospects for further research.
