Abstract: The primary focus of this study is to identify the fundamental components and indicators of organizational culture related to the comprehensive development and progress of organizations from the perspective of the Holy Quran. Using a “descriptive-analytical” method, this research seeks to uncover the Quranic viewpoint and answer the question: What is organizational development based on the components of organizational culture? Based on analyses supported by Quranic verses and confirmed by Islamic management scholars and commentators, the study concludes that, from the Quranic perspective, “God-centeredness” (God-centeredness) is the central and pivotal category of organizational culture. Other components, such as trustworthiness, justice-centeredness, self-referentiality, cooperation, and mutual assistance—each playing a crucial role in organizational improvement and advancement—derive their true meaning and realization from this central concept. Accordingly, the establishment of a “God-centered organizational culture” in Islamic organizations will lead to genuine and comprehensive organizational development (both material and spiritual).
