Dr. Ali Al-Ghamdi
NOBODY denies that it is the God-given right of every Saudi to find a job in his own country. Nobody contests the fact that priority in employment should be given to Saudi citizens. Nobody argues that it is the duty of society to create job opportunities for Saudi men and women according to their skills, capabilities and qualifications. It is the duty of employed Saudi citizens to do their job with sincerity, loyalty and competence without complaining, resorting to slackness or degrading their position.
It is also the duty of the government and society to provide training facilities, rehabilitation programs and incentives to encourage employees to do their work properly and efficiently. Employers should provide new employees with orientation programs and properly introduce them to the work they will be doing. New employees should not be reprimanded for the small mistakes they may make while learning how to do their jobs. They should be corrected and shown the best way of carrying out their duties. As for the employees, they should not neglect their duties or show any slackness in performing their assignment. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) says that Allah will hold the individual accountable for properly doing the job which he is paid to do. He also says that Allah asks all of us to perfect the work we are doing.
Laws and legislation ensuring the rights of both employees and the employers should be drafted. The employer should create a healthy work atmosphere, provide sufficient training and provide adequate financial incentives. At the same time, he should not shy away from punishing employees who are lazy or who are not willing to do their jobs properly.
