Participative Management in Educational Institution from Islamic Point of View

Abstract

Participative Management is a topic which lacks clear definition in Islamic studies. Taking into consideration the importance of P.M. in educational systems, the present article attempts to compare factors related to Participative Management from management and Islamic point of view. Through descriptive and analytical studies or research, the writer concludes that great differences exist between the above two approaches particularly issues related to the principle of counseling and the concept of decentralization and delegation of power. According to Islamic principles, where there is a previously decreed issue counseling is not advised and it is believed that Islamic decree has to be executed or put into effect. When it is a matter of reconciliation of affairs, counseling is advised. Moreover in spite of putting emphasis on decentralization in the west, by contrast Islam puts emphasis on the government leadership centralization as an element of unity. So when it is a matter of delegating power, it is a welcome change to deposit power in the hands of a leader.
