Abstract: Modern administrative studies do not consider investigating the self-monitoring concept from a religious perspective, and thus, the relationship between the concept of self-monitoring in Islam and in business administration is still unknown. The purpose of this research is to study the self-monitoring concept from an administrative perspective as well as the Islamic Religion perspective. By exploring the way in which they agree and disagree, the study can show how they can mutually benefit each other. The methodology to be used is: 1) The inductive approach of the self-monitoring concept in both perspectives taken from previous studies in the fields of definition, types, theories, implementation, as well as results and implications; 2) The analytical approach of both concepts and related theories, as well as the interpretation and analysis of religious texts; 3) The comparative approach of the relationship between the two concepts.

Keywords: self-monitoring; Islamic religion; business administration; workplace monitoring; Islam.
