Employment Struggles for Muslims: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Muslims commonly encounter struggles in the workplace due to their identity. This systematic literature review encompasses a range of literature about employment struggles for Muslims. After several screening procedures, 134 papers were deemed suitable for further scrutiny. This study comprises three major topics involving employment struggles for Muslims, which are: (1) Islamic identity and practices in the workplace, (2) Employment challenges for Muslims, and (3) The consequences of workplace struggles for Muslims. The present study also suggests pathways for future management studies based on the respective unit of analysis (organizational, group, and individual).
