Abstract

The subject of work in organizations has been concerned with the concerns of intellectuals since ancient times, especially Muslim scholars such as Al-Farabi, Al-Mawardi, Al-Ghazali and Ibn Khaldun. With the development of human societies, especially the period of economic depression experienced by the Western countries and in the early 1930s, the increasing interest in working in organizations has emerged several intellectual trends and theories that differed according to their intellectual origins.
