Organizational Responsibilities of Managers in Commanding and Forbidding Employees Based on the Holy Quran

This study aims to identify the organizational responsibilities of managers in providing employees with “commands” and its related derivatives by examining the verses of the Holy Quran.

The methodology used in this study to explore the role of command in organizational culture in the light of the Holy Quran is the subjective research method within the Holy Quran. Hadiths, interpretive, translation, and lexical sources were also utilized to enrich the research. Thematic axes were designed, and the extracted concepts were organized under them.

Competent managers issue commands by assessing the situation and considering various conditions to ensure their successful implementation. These conditions include adherence to organizational rules and regulations, clear communication of rules and commands, continuous development and self-improvement of managers, fostering an organizational environment that resembles a family where managers pay attention to employees as if they were family members, implementing an employee meal plan, managing based on individual employee characteristics, encouraging organizational participation of employees, managing the organization with trust in God (a vital value that affects all managerial duties), and employing a system of encouragement and punishment.

The responsibilities of managers in commanding employees within organizations encompass three distinct phases: pre-commanding, commanding, and post-commanding, each involving various components.
