Abstract

Lingkungan bisnis kontemporer semakin dihadapkan pada tantangan etika yang serius, termasuk penipuan korporasi, eksploitasi tenaga kerja, degradasi lingkungan, dan orientasi keuntungan yang berlebihan. Fenomena-fenomena ini mengindikasikan keterbatasan kerangka manajemen sekuler yang dominan, yang cenderung mengutamakan efisiensi ekonomi sambil mengabaikan dimensi spiritual dan moral. Sebagai respons terhadap kesenjangan ini, ajaran Islam menawarkan landasan etika alternatif yang berakar pada tradisi kenabian (hadits), yang mengintegrasikan keberhasilan material dengan tanggung jawab moral dan akuntabilitas spiritual. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merekonseptualisasikan etos kerja Islam melalui analisis tematik (mawdhu'i) terhadap tradisi kenabian dan mengkaji relevansinya bagi keberlanjutan bisnis kontemporer. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif-hermeneutik dengan metodologi hadits mawdhu'i. Data dikumpulkan dari sumber hadits yang telah terautentikasi, khususnya enam koleksi kanonik (al-kutub al-sittah), dan dianalisis melalui prosedur pengkodean tematik. Prinsip-prinsip etika yang teridentifikasi kemudian dipetakan ke dalam kerangka Triple Bottom Line (TBL) yang mencakup dimensi Profit, People, dan Planet. Temuan penelitian mengungkap lima kluster tematik inti dari etika kerja kenabian: kemuliaan bekerja, itqan (keunggulan), amanah (kepercayaan), 'adalah dan sidq (keadilan dan kejujuran), serta khalifah (pengelolaan lingkungan). Prinsip-prinsip ini membentuk kerangka keberlanjutan yang terintegrasi, yang mendorong keunggulan produktif, keadilan sosial, kepercayaan organisasional, dan tanggung jawab ekologis. Lebih lanjut, analisis komparatif menunjukkan bahwa model kenabian melengkapi teori manajemen kontemporer sekaligus menawarkan orientasi etika transenden yang berpusat pada taqwa dan falah. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi bagi literatur manajemen Islam dan menyediakan panduan praktis bagi tata kelola berkelanjutan, manajemen sumber daya manusia, tanggung jawab sosial perusahaan, dan pencapaian Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
