A Thematic Review on Prophetic Leadership in Organisations: Analysis of Patterns and Impacts
Keywords:
Atlas.ti., Islamic Management, Islamic Values, Prophetic Leadership, Thematic ReviewAbstract
Prophetic leadership is a model of leadership which is primarily based on the Holy Quran and the
exemplary of the Prophets’ characteristics. This leadership concept is highly recommended to be
practised by Muslim managers in order to achieve blessing from Allah SWT as well as worldly gain.
Nevertheless, there has been a relatively small amount of research discussing the patterns in prophetic
leadership publications and the positive impacts that it offers. Therefore, the aim of this thematic review
paper was twofold, that was to explore the pattern of the publications that discussed prophetic
leadership in organisations, and to examine the impact that may be derived from practising prophetic
leadership. Three databases including Dimensions, Microsoft Academics, and Google Scholar were
searched under the keywords prophetic leadership and Islam. Selected articles were reviewed and
analysed using Atlas.ti8 software. The findings from the code-to-document analysis found six research
themes on the patterns of publications and derived twelve sub-themes on the impacts of practising
prophetic leadership. This study provided an avenue for Muslim managers to improve their leadership
style from the Islamic perspective, and also benefits future researchers who would focus on Islamic
management and leadership.
