The commitment to Islamic work ethics among Islamic banking employees in Aceh
Azharsyah Ibrahim1, Nor ‘Azzah Kamri2.
Ethics play an important role in producing ethical staffs for
managing an organization. Ethical staffs perform their duties
ethically and offer the best services to the customers. Islamic
banking institutions, as Shariah compliant financial institutions,
should encourage their employees to implement Islamic work
ethics (IWE) to enhance their performance. This article aims
to examine the level of IWE commitment among employees of
Islamic banks in Aceh. It specifically compares the employee’s
commitment level on IWE between three categories of Islamic
banking in Aceh, namely, the Islamic Commercial Bank
(ICB), the Islamic Business Unit (IBU), and the Islamic Rural
Bank (IRB). The study employed a quantitative approach in
collecting data. The questionnaire surveys were distributed to
268 employees in seven Islamic banks. Of that number, only 208 were usable. The results of the findings reveal that employees of
the selected Islamic banks in Aceh have very high commitment
to implementing IWE in their daily routines. An analysis of the
banking categories shows that the employees who work within
the IBU have the highest commitment in practicing IWE in their
daily jobs, and, statistically, differ from those who work in the
other two categories.
