Islamic Corporate Culture, Theo-Management, Organizational BehaviorAbstract
This study explores the implementation of theologically-based, or "Theo-management,” specifically within the context of LP3I Purwokerto, a leading Islamic vocational college in Indonesia. The objective is to investigate the unique interplay between Islamic theological values and the development of corporate culture and its impact on organizational behavior in the institution. Adopting a phenomenological approach within a naturalistic qualitative research design, the study employs interviews, observational techniques, and document analysis to collect a comprehensive dataset. Findings unveil six distinctive practices embedding Islamic principles into the corporate culture, fostering a religious observance sphere that influences work ethics, employee motivation, organizational learning, loyalty, and belief in the divine. While providing a nuanced understanding of the Theo-management model's potential benefits, the study's context-specificity prompts further exploration into diverse organizational and cultural settings. Thus, the research contributes to a deeper comprehension of religious influence on corporate culture and organizational behavior while calling for extended investigations in varied environments.
