The education sector in Malaysia nowdays is a fast-growing sector. The higher education sector under the responsibility of the government is divided into two, namely as Public Higher Education Institutions (IPTA) and Private Higher Education Institutions (IPTS). The objective of this study is to examine the understanding of the significance of the concept of Ihsan in relation to altruism. Outwardly, Muslims need to have the concept of Ihsan in their work. This element is a reinforcing belief which to be instilled in us how sincere we need to work and not just expect rewards. When we can achieve these attributes, we will try to relax with all the provisions and focus on ensuring that the organization we represent is always on a good track. The religion of Islam is syumul or perfect which encompasses all things in a person's life. Perfection is inseparable from highlighting a noble personality and the best example in doing a job. In Islam, it is closer to being associated with the concept of Ihsan. This is because it is closely related to an organisational management system that meets the quality and standards. The results of the research found that the concept of Ihsan in Islam is an important element in producing the best and effective organizational management. The concept of human beings can be equated with the concept of Alturism which is one of the dimensions in the theory of organizational citizenship behavior. In work, a worker should need to have the nature of Ihsan or Alturism.
