The efforts in sustaining the excellence level of job performance have been widely discussed, either by researchers or organizations itself. However, the practitioners still confronts difficulties in sustaining job performance, especially in Muslim countries. This due to human's complex behavior and many other factors such as job stress and dissatisfaction. Whereas, as a Muslim, the employee's should be self-control, patient, resilience, tolerance, and make a complete resignation to Allah's will. Furthermore, a Muslim should believe that Allah is All Wise, and that there is great wisdom behind everything that Allah does. Thus, along with these Islamic religiosity awareness, each individual will be compelled to behave ethically. Although there are numerous studies on ethics have been conducted, either in Islamic perspective or general perspective. There is a lack of study that investigate the impact Islamic religiosity awareness in workplace. Thus, in response to the impact of both Islamic religiosity and Islamic work ethics in enhancing as well as sustaining job performance, this paper presented, discussed, and investigated empirically for possible implications between Islamic religiosity, Islamic work ethics and job performance. Smart-PLS have been used as analysis tool. Future researchers are expected to expand the study on job performance from Islamic perspective.
Retaining employees has become an important issue for the companies because retention helps the organizations to achieve their goals. This study intends to identify factors used to increase employees' retention. Specifically, this study examines the relationship between person-job (PJ) fit, work engagement (WE), and employees' retention. The study also determines the role of WE as a plausible mediating variable between PJ fit and employees' retention. The study was conducted among 268 engineers in semiconductor companies in Northern Region of Malaysia. The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was utilized and it found that PJ fit has positive inclination towards employees' retention and WE. The study also shows WE as positively affecting employees' retention serving as a mediator in the relationship between PJ fit and employees' retention.
