Abstract

The objective of the study is to analyze the internalization of Islamic work ethics (IWE) in Malaysia Armed Forces organization (MAF). As the organization is one of the foundations of the nation's force based on its might in defending the society from external enemies, or internal conflicts, hence it is of utmost importance for every military personnel to be instilled with ethics and discipline. To achieve the targets, the government took the initiative to enact the Armed Forces Act 1972. To determine how far the Islamic work ethics has been embedded in the military and how it is internalized by the officers, the textual analysis method was used to meet the research objective. The findings of the study show that even though the organization tried its best to instill the IWE among the army officers, but the level of internalization was still unsatisfactory as it all depended on every officer's obligation to internalize it in their daily lives.
