"Drawing on two pristine sources of Islamic knowledge, i.e. the Quran and Sunnah, the book presents an Islamic alternate paradigm to the western conceptualization of quality of worklife. This book discusses the impact of Islamic beliefs on the perceptions of an organizational member about the quality of his/her job/professional life if he/she internalizes Islamic culture. Motivational basis in western and Islamic paradigms is contrasted. An articulation of conflict resolution mechanism of Islamic Sharia is attempted. anger controlling techniques prescribed under Divine Guidance are highlighted. Stress inoculation as well as coping methods are elaborated." (jacket)
