Human resources or employees working in Islamic banks are one of the determining factors for the increase and development of the performance of Islamic banks. This is because the performance of an Islamic bank is an accumulation of the individual performance of the employees who work at the Islamic bank. Islamic bank employees must have strong organizational commitment, one of the factors that influence organizational commitment is the application of Islamic work ethics by Islamic bank employees. By understanding the concept of Islamic work ethics and applying it as a whole, the performance of Islamic bank employees will increase and of course the performance of Islamic banks will be better and finally able to take the potential possessed by Islamic banks themselves. This research is descriptive research using survey method. The sample in this study were 100 employees who worked at Islamic banks in Riau Province. The sampling technique uses simple random sampling of the population used in this study on the sample's perspective on the application of Islamic work ethics. The instrument of this research is to use a research questionnaire. The data analysis technique of this research uses the percentage technique of the respondents' answers to the research questionnaire. The results of this study indicate that all Islamic bank employees generally comply with all dimensions of Islamic work ethics. Nevertheless, employees need to increase their efforts because this dimension is the least found. Future research is suggested to combine the dimensions of Islamic work ethics with organizational performance.
