Findings: Ihsan Commitment is a new concept in workplace commitment and filling the existing gaps.

Significance: This study contributes to the development of a commitment concept in an Islamic perspective.

The spirit and goal orientation that is built within this commitment is the spirit of tawhid faith and al falah as a comprehensive goal.

Limitations: As a new concept, measurement and validation scales still need to be developed
