Basis Of Decision Making' Decision In Organizations, Decisions Based On Benefits And Mafsadat

Abstract

This study aims to examine the foundations of decision-making in organizations by integrating rational, behavioral, participatory (deliberation), and ethical approaches based on the concepts of maslahah (benefit) and mafsadah (harm) within an Islamic perspective. The research applies a qualitative method through a literature review of relevant scholarly sources. The findings reveal that decision-making is influenced not only by rational considerations but also by cognitive, emotional, social, and situational factors. In organizational settings, participatory decision-making (deliberation) has been shown to enhance decision quality, strengthen legitimacy, and increase members' commitment to the outcomes. Nevertheless, its implementation still encounters several challenges, such as time limitations and group dynamics. Furthermore, the concepts of maslahah and mafsadah provide an ethical foundation by emphasizing the balance between benefits and risks in the decision-making process. The integration of these approaches leads to a more comprehensive, adaptive, and sustainable decision-making framework. This study is expected to contribute to the advancement of both theoretical and practical aspects of effective and value-based decision-making.
