This paper constructs a culturally appropriate model for Muslim women’s empowerment in management and leadership positions that addresses sustainability goals of quality education, gender equality, economic growth and reducing inequalities, as well as national and cultural differences from Western women’s empowerment models. The approach to model building begins with two sources of evidence for women’s empowerment—first, the empowerment of women recognised in the Qur’an and Sunnah, and in the historical-biographical record, particularly in the early Islamic period that draws to some extent on hermeneutics. This is followed by identifying four approaches that can be used in constructing a comprehensive model of Muslim women’s empowerment: Bourdieu’s social, cultural and intellectual capital theory; multiple modernities theory that recognises societal diversity; cultural security arguments for the preservation of cultures; and postcolonial critiques that argue for diversity through decolonising. The main argument of this paper is that sustainability goals cannot be achieved without a model appropriate to the valuational, cultural and societal context in which women are educated and work. The final section of this paper proposes a multidimensional and multilevel model that can be used as a guidance for empowering Muslim women in management and leadership positions. The model construction is based partly on Côté and Levine’s psychosocial cultural model that identifies multiple levels and dimensions of identity, role and social institution construction. This article contributes to the current literature by proposing a theoretical foundation and a multidimensional model that can inform and shape the empowerment of Muslim women in management and leadership positions in different societies.

建立穆斯林妇女管理权的典范：哲学和历史证据及批评方法

本文为穆斯林妇女在管理和领导职位上的赋权构建了一个文化上适当的模型，该模型解决了优质教育，性别平等，经济增长和减少不平等以及与西方妇女赋权模型之间的民族和文化差异的可持续性目标。建立模型的方法始于增强妇女权能的两个证据来源：第一，《古兰经》和《圣训》中认可的妇女权能，以及历史传记记录中的承认权，特别是在伊斯兰早期，这在一定程度上取决于诠释学。接下来，确定四种可用于构建穆斯林妇女赋权综合模型的方法：布迪厄的社会，文化和知识资本理论；承认社会多样性的多元现代性理论；维护文化的文化安全论点；以及通过非殖民化主张多样性的后殖民批评。本文的主要论点是，如果没有适合妇女接受教育和工作的价值，文化和社会背景的模型，就无法实现可持续发展目标。本文的最后一部分提出了一个多维和多层次的模型，可以用作在管理和领导职位上赋予穆斯林妇女权力的指导。该模型的构建部分基于科特和莱文的社会心理文化模型，该模型确定了身份，角色和社会制度建设的多个层次和维度。
