“…The scale of job satisfaction has reported reliabilities above 0.90. IWE was measured using an instrument developed by Al Smadi et al (2021). This instrument consisted of three dimensions and 17 items: obligation of healthcare providers to their patients’ seven items, obligation of supervisors to their subordinates’ five items and obligation of healthcare providers to their colleagues’ five items.…”

“…Khanifar et al (2012) identified eight dimensions of Islamic work value: service-oriented morale, effort and perseverance, work spirituality motivation, continuous improvement, work obligation, justice, Itqan, and work solidity. Finally, Al Smadi et al (2021) identified three dimensions of IWE in the healthcare field: obligation of healthcare providers to their patients, obligation of supervisors to their subordinates, and obligation of healthcare providers to their colleagues. Ali (1988) is credited with being the first to write about IWE scaling and measurement.…”

“…Moreover, consultation in Islam is also one of the main IWEs highlighted by Islamic scholars (Al Smadi et al, 2021; Aldulaimi, 2016). Consultation refers to a participative decision-making procedure by consultation and deliberation among those who have the pertinent matter on which a determination is to be taken or others who can help them reach such a decision in the workplace (Khan, 2006).…”

“…To assist scholars in evaluating and quantifying work ethics in Islamic civilizations, Aldulaimi (2020) presented a multidimensional scale with 18 dimensions and 90 items. Al Smadi et al (2021) have created an instrument to assess the IWE of emergency department healthcare providers. The instrument has three dimensions and 17 elements.…”

Studying the role of religion and its relationship to work outcomes is not new in cross-culture management, especially in globalization with the increase of interaction in cross-cultural settings. Islamic work ethics (IWE) have attracted the attention of academics studying the attitudes and behaviors of workers in Muslim societies. This study investigates the role of IWE as a mediator in the relationship between job satisfaction and performance. A stratified sampling technique was used to select 11 emergency departments from hospitals in Jordan. In total, 475 questionnaires were distributed to healthcare providers. Only 299 questionnaires were completed and returned to the research team. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 25. Descriptive analysis, correlation, Cronbach alpha, and regression analyses were performed. The findings indicated that job satisfaction has a significant positive impact on IWE and job performance (B = 0.66, p < 0.001), (B = 0.58, p < 0.001), respectively. The findings also indicated that IWE directly and positively affects job performance (B = 0.70, p < 0.001). Overall, the results supported that IWE partially mediates the relationship between job satisfaction and performance. Similarly, job satisfaction was also found to be an essential predictor of IWE. In addition, job satisfaction indirectly affects job performance through IWE. Therefore, IWE plays an essential role in job satisfaction and performance relationship. This study is an attempt to create a conceptual framework that incorporated IWE into the relationship between job satisfaction and performance in the Arab working culture and tried to broaden the cross-cultural management study of religion by investigating the mediation role of IWE in the relationship between job satisfaction and performance. The current study contributes to expand our understanding of the importance of IWE to the relationship between job satisfaction and performance in the Arab cultural context, which has received less attention in management research.

“…The researchers further identified three domains of work ethic that include Protestant Work Ethics (originated from teachings of Christianity), Confucius Work Ethics (originated from Chinese Confucius philosophy) and Islamic Work Ethics (having roots in Islamic teachings) (Asadullah et al, 2020). Organizations benefit from good cooperation because it improves teamwork, job quality, instils harmony and the rights of each member inside the organisation, and improves communication (Al-samdi et al, 2021). Among all the codes of work ethic, the Islamic Work Ethics (IWE) became popular because of its instrumentality for job performance because it treats work as noble task instead of mere calculative act (Asadullah et al, 2020).…”

Purpose: In this article, we examined the mediating effect of employees’ intrinsic motivation (IM) on the relationship between Islamic work ethics (IWE) and job performance (JP) in the higher education sector of Pakistan. A correlational research design was employed to undertake this crosssectional study. Methodology: This study was conducted using a simple random sampling technique. Findings: The results of the study reveal a strong positive association between IWE and JP and moderately positive relationships between IWE and IM, and IM and JP. Further, the study also reveals that Intrinsic Motivation fully mediates the impact of IWE on job performance. Significance: The results of this study show that there is a strong positive significant association between Islamic work ethics and job performance. Moreover, intrinsic motivation has also mediated the relationship between IWE and JP. Research Limitations/Implications: The most important and beneficial contribution and addition to the current research is the introduction of intrinsic motivation as a mediating component, which has not been explored extensively in prior studies. Employee performance can be noticed when Islamic work concepts have a positive impact on IM. Practical and Social Implications: This study confirms previous findings while also adding new information and a new perspective to the existing body of knowledge. Intrinsic motivation is revealed to be important in regulating the relationship between IWE and JP.

Purpose: This study suggests a new commitment concept in the workplace within the perspective of Islam that is rooted on ih. san¯ values. Methodology: This research uses a meta-analysis method. We took the top ten articles in the Q1 category from the Scopus data base using the Publish or Perish application with the title word organizational commitment. Findings: This study provides a new color in the concept of work commitment with included Islamic religious values such as ih. san¯ value, where the concept offered by previous research is stating that work commitment is a form of transactional relationship between organizations and employees built from social exchange theory. Significance: This study contributes to the development of a commitment concept in an Islamic perspective. The result of this study provides insight and a contemporary concept in building employee commitment for increasing participation and human performance. Limitations: As a new concept, measurement and validation scales still need to be developed. Implications: The concept of ih. san¯ commitment is hoped to offer a strong commitment founded on the spirit of faith and a wider goal within work activities in building commitment that is al fala¯h. : to maintain religion, spirit, mentality, descendants and possessions.
