Abstrak

Work in Islamic-oriented organizations may be experienced simultaneously as an economic, professional, relational, moral, and spiritual activity shaped by employees’ religious values. This study explores how Muslim employees in Islamic-oriented organizations in Indonesia interpret and experience the meaning of work through faith-based perspectives. Using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach, data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with 28 Muslim employees working in various Islamic-oriented institutions. The findings identify five interconnected dimensions through which participants interpreted their work: amanah as moral responsibility; muraqabah as internal moral self-regulation; faith-based belonging grounded in shared Islamic values; spiritual and relational job satisfaction; and self-transformation through continuous ethical and spiritual development. The study suggests that Islamic faith functioned for participants as both a personal source of meaning and an interpretive moral-relational framework shaping attitudes, workplace behavior, and organizational attachment. These findings contribute to discussions on meaningful work, Islamic work ethics, and workplace spirituality by offering an empirically grounded understanding of how faith becomes embedded in everyday organizational experiences. The study further highlights the importance of moral alignment, spiritual consciousness, and collective values in fostering ethical commitment and meaningful organizational engagement within Islamic-oriented workplaces
