“…Islam, as a way of life and as a comprehensive religion, obliges Muslims to comply with the value system of the Qur'an (Yaseen et al, 2015). Therefore, Muslims are required to surrender completely to God's will (Syed & Ali, 2010) and follow the code described by Islamic Law (Khan et al, 2015).…”

The purpose of this article is to examine the differences between public and private sector employees’ public service motivation (PSM) levels and also examine the impact of Islamic work ethic (IWE) as a potential antecedent of PSM in a non-Western setting. This quantitative investigation is based on a sample of 419 employees in 13 public and private organizations in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). Independent t test results reveal no statistically significant differences in PSM level between public and private sector employees. The analysis of the data also reveals that PSM is significantly influenced by IWE. Implications and avenues for future research are discussed.

“…Thus, Islam has its own concept about the work ethics that derives from the Quran and Hadith (the practices of prophet Mohammad). Ethics in Islam govern all aspects of life (Yaseen et al, 2015). God (Allah) describes Muslims as those who are addressing to all what is good (khayr), enjoining what is right (maruf) and forbidding what is wrong (Quran 3:104), IWEs stresses creative and innovative work as a source of happiness in life (Kumar and Rose, 2010).…”

“…Islam encourages humans to gain knowledge. Islam encourages humans to gain knowledge and skills and highly praises those who strive in order to gain a living (Yaseen et al, 2015;Wahab et al, 2016). Competition is another value mentioned by researchers (Ali and Al-Owaihan, 2008;Yousef, 2001Yousef, , 2000.…”

“…For the above values to be fruitful, they have to be based on morality. Effort, competition and transparency may produce benefits to self and others; however, their durability without morally guided action is doubtful and may lead to disastrous results (Yaseen et al, 2015). Notwithstanding, morality refers to the kind of practices that deal with what is right and wrong (Dimitriou, 2017).…”

“…Furthermore, unlike work ethic in Judaism and Christianity; IWE has been almost totally ignored in business literature (Ali and Al-Owaihan, 2008;Ali, 1988Ali, , 2009b. Moreover, most of the literature has been devoted to exploring or developing measurement scale of IWE (Wahab et al, 2016;Yaseen et al, 2015;Ali, 1988Ali, , 1987Yousef, 2001;Beekun and Badawi, 2004;Ali and Al-Owaihan, 2008).…”

This research puts forth a new conceptualisation of espoused Islam and Islam-in-use, the discrepancy between the ideal and the real. Espoused Islam is what Arab managers believe in their stated value. Islam-in-use is their operationalised beliefs that they actually use. Although, there is ample evidence that Arab managers can and do switch mindsets between espoused Islam and Islam-in-use depending on which is cued in context, little is known about these contradicting orientations. The antecedents of these variations are deeply rooted in history, Arab culture ethos and Islam. The interpretive analysis of concepts has been used to understand the missing paradigm between espoused Islam and Islam-in-use, as well as to shed light on some contradicting orientations among them. An examination of this divergence involves rigorous research and further empirical operationalisation. Consequently, this conceptualisation is very valuable to western partners regarding how they should cultivate and express their own values and execute business in the Arab world.
