Abstract
Worldview, or in other words, the type of reception, perception and feeling about existence and the surrounding environment, has fundamental differences in the approach of Islam and the West, which creates differences in the mission of organizations in the two approaches. The purpose of this study was to explain and compare worldview assumptions in the Islamic approach and current Western approaches and its application in organization and management. In this regard, initially, Islamic worldview was compared with Western worldview based on the assumptions of epistemology, ontology, anthropology, methodology and axiology, and then its application in organization and management were presented and finally the conclusion is made. To achieve this goal, the explanatory-analytical method and data collection tools of documentary type have been used. Based on the studies and comparisons made, it was found that the Islamic and Western worldviews have radical differences in these assumptions, and it is these differences that have caused the views of the world and the environment and finally the type of view of Islamic and Western organization and management to be different. Accordingly, the Islamic management model can only be possible based on the Islamic worldview, and a contradiction in the type of worldview and the way of management can have adverse consequences for the organization.
