Abstract
Purpose –This study addresses the ethical erosion and dehumanizing tendencies of digitally mediated work (e.g., algorithmic control, gig arrangements, and transactional performance pressures) by formulating a Qur’anic management framework for sustainable work ethics grounded in amānah and integrity. It responds to the gap between prevailing digital work norms and Qur’anic moral ideals, with a focus on long-term organizational sustainability.
Methods– Using a tafsīr maudhū‘ī (thematic) approach within qualitative library research, the study conducts a structured thematic synthesis: (i) selection of Qur’anic passages relevant to work, trust, justice, and responsibility; (ii) contextual reading through classical and contemporary tafsīr; and (iii) hermeneutic translation of ethical themes into management constructs and sustainability-oriented outcomes (governance, social well-being, and responsible conduct).
Findings–The study constructs an integrative model comprising three pillars—al-‘adl (justice), al-amānah (trustworthy integrity), and mas’ūliyyah ijtimā‘iyyah (social responsibility)—operationalized as sustainability enablers in digital workplaces. Al-‘adl supports fair treatment and worker well-being in data-driven performance systems; al-amānah strengthens ethical governance and accountability under automation; and mas’ūliyyah ijtimā‘iyyah matches organizational behavior with collective benefit and CSR-like commitments.
Practical Implications–The framework offers a sustainability-oriented paradigm for human resource management, ethical leadership, and organizational governance, enabling firms to mitigate digital-era risks by embedding justice, integrity, and collective responsibility into codes of ethics, evaluation systems, and digital-work policies.
Originality/value–This study advances Islamic management scholarship by moving beyond normative exposition to propose an operational Qur’anic management framework that links Qur’anic ethics to sustainability outcomes in contemporary digital organizations
