İslam Ekonomisinde İşgücü Piyasasında Ücret

Öz

İnsanların en yaygın kazancı ücrettir. Ücret çalışan insanlar için gelirin temel unsurunu oluşturur. Ücret sadece aktif olarak çalışılan yıllar için değil, aynı zamanda birçok emeklilik planı da ücret seviyelerine ve dinamiklerine dayanılarak yapılmaktadır. Bu nedenle ücretin hesaplanması, belirlenmesi ve ücret hesaplanmasında nelerin dikkate alınması gerektiği önem taşımaktadır. Ücret iş piyasasında belirlenmektedir. Ücret, işverenler için de önemlidir. Ücret ekonomide, yatırım, istihdam ve üretim başta olmak üzere birçok ekonomik değişkeni etkilemektedir. Her ekonomik sistemde ücretin belirlenmesi farklı şekillerde gerçekleşmektedir. Bu çalışmada, İslam ekonomisine göre ücret konusu ele alınıp incelenecek, işçi ve işverenlerin ücret oluşumundaki rolleri analiz edilecektir. Çalışmanın temel amacı, İslam ekonomisinin ücretin belirlenmesi konusunda, işçiler ve işverenler arasındaki ilişkiyi nasıl düzenlediğine dair bir fikir sahibi olabilmektir. Ayrıca çalışmada İslam iktisadı açısından emek faktörünün, üretimdeki yeri ve önemi analiz edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışma literatür taraması şeklinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada, İslam iktisadına göre; ücretin belirlenmesinde sadece para ile ölçülen maddi değerler değil, manevi değerlerinde dikkate alınması gerektiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
