<![CDATA[Leadership is a fundamental factor influencing employee motivation, commitment, and organizational performance. However, contemporary organizations increasingly require leadership approaches that integrate performance achievement with ethical responsibility, social justice, and employee well-being. This conceptual review examines Islamic leadership as an ethical and relational leadership framework that contributes to employee performance through the integration of transformational leadership principles and Islamic values. Drawing on Islamic management literature, transformational leadership theory, social exchange theory, and organizational behavior perspectives, this article analyzes how Islamic leadership influences employee attitudes and behaviors. The review identifies five core principles of Islamic leadership: amanah (trustworthiness), adl (justice), shura (consultation), ihsan (excellence), and khalifah (stewardship). These principles strengthen employee trust, psychological empowerment, organizational commitment, engagement, and performance. The article argues that effective leadership in Islamic perspectives is not limited to achieving organizational objectives but also involves fulfilling moral responsibilities toward employees and society. The contribution of this article lies in developing an integrated framework that positions Islamic leadership as a value-based relational process connecting leader behavior, employee experience, and organizational sustainability.]]>
