Objective: This study aims to examine the socio-economic, moral, and sociological significance of human labour in the context of a globalised market economy, with particular reference to contemporary reforms in Uzbekistan and their emphasis on labour culture, attitudes toward work, and productivity. Method: The research adopts a qualitative, conceptual-analytical approach, drawing on classical religious texts and the philosophical, scientific, and ethical heritage of Eastern thinkers to interpret labour as a multidimensional phenomenon encompassing economic function, moral value, and social responsibility. Results: The analysis demonstrates that labour is not merely a means of material production but a fundamental factor in shaping spiritual development, social activity, professional identity, and moral integrity. The study reveals that ideas such as honest work, professional mastery, and selfless service to society—deeply rooted in Islamic teachings and classical Eastern scholarship—remain highly relevant for addressing modern socio-economic challenges and strengthening social stability. Novelty: This article offers an integrative framework that connects classical spiritual-philosophical perspectives on labour with contemporary socio-economic discourse, highlighting their applicability to modern reform agendas and contributing to a value-based understanding of labour in today’s education and policy contexts.
