A Bibliometric Review of Islamic Work Ethics Literature

Existing number of scientific studies on Islamic work ethics (IWE) as well as recent attraction for this topic among the academics have motivated us to adopt a bibliometric analysis on IWE literature. For graphical presentation, bibliometrix packages in R software and VOSviewer software are used. Total 183 documents from the Scopus database are examined. Apart from bibliometric study, this study also conducts content analysis. The number of publications on IWE is recently in a soaring growth that can be justified by low annual publication, low average citations per document and rising teamwork among authors. From the results, it is evident that employment, work ethics, affective commitment, and change management has potential literature gaps on IWE literature.
