“…As Kamil et al (2011) avow that when a Muslim looks at a beautiful and wellmaintained garden he immediately praises it and deems that the garden exists to serve a particular purpose and the sole responsibility of the Muslim as a custodian is to take good care of the garden. The religion of Islam is a complete way of life (Alam, 1998;Al-Habshi, 1987;Bhatti et al, 2020). The expression "way of life" here is to obey and comply with what Allah has ordained.…”

“…Moreover, rituals can serve as an effective way to manage work stresses and pressure (Grine et al, 2015). Islamic Spirituality provides for another perception of life in terms of problem-solving ability and increased stability with low level of stress and anxiety that leads to good psychological health (Bhatti et al, 2016a(Bhatti et al, , 2015(Bhatti et al, , 2016b(Bhatti et al, , 2020Monfared & Naderi, 2015). With the presence of spirituality one can cope with all these mental disorders (Tiliouine et al, 2009) similarly it helps to draw strength and happiness (L. Fry & Kriger, 2009;L.…”

“…Additionally, ISR also reinforces dependence on Allah and stimulates a believer to display the finest performance (Bhatti, 2015;Mohsen, 2007;Sulaiman et al, 2013). Remarkably, Islamic social responsibility which includes integrity, truthfulness, forgiveness, trust, sincerity, patience, brotherhood and justice can subsidise employees in term or their performance and overall prosperity of the organization (Bhatti et al, 2016a(Bhatti et al, , 2015(Bhatti et al, , 2016b(Bhatti et al, , 2020Zandi at el., 2017).

The notion of employee happiness based on the Western mindset has received tremendous focus by researchers across organizational sciences for a long time. However, it seems that these studies have not paid sufficient attention on the model of employee happiness across other societies and religions such as the Islamic framework. The religion of Islam is a comprehensive and inclusive code of life which provides appropriate solutions to manage employee happiness concerns. The significance of the study provides an insight on how happiness can be enhanced within organizations by the practices of Islamic spirituality (IS) and Islamic social responsibility (ISR). Employee happiness is observed by individuals practising and demonstrating IS and ISR at the workplace. Additionally, this study examines the mediating role of perceived organizational justice between IS, ISR and employee happiness. This empirical investigation attempts to enhance our understanding of how IS and ISR impact employee happiness in the banking sector of Pakistan. The

“…Based on the answers, it can be concluded that ethical leaders are human beings with a trusteeship from Allah that is profoundly embedded in their leadership. It is a contract between leaders and supporters (Bhatti et al, 2019). They ensure justice and parity for the members.…”

Despite continuous attempts to introduce employee engagement measures, leaders worldwide have been increasingly concerned about diminishing employee engagement levels. The issue of workplace engagement continues to be a source of contention for academics and practitioners alike. There is still a need to comprehend this phenomenon since previous research lacks a thorough understanding of employee work engagement concerning ethical leadership. This qualitative study explores the perceptions of the leaders working in service organizations regarding ethical leadership on employee work engagement in three countries, i.e., Malaysia, Turkey, and Pakistan. The phenomenon of work engagement was explored in this study. The theory of self-determination supports the proposed theoretical framework of the current study. Purposive sampling was applied to select 28 leaders in the service sector. Semi-structured interviews were performed to understand employee engagement better using participant observations, opinions, strategic perspectives, and the employee handbook and recordings of interviews and meetings with service sector leaders. The findings highlighted eight major ethical leadership themes suggested by 28 managers in the interviews. Eight themes of ethical leadership are (1) Role Modeling, (2) Trust, (3 Honesty, (4) Integrity, (5) Justice, (6) Religiosity, (7) Responsibility, (8) Intellectual competence. The present study found that leaders applying different strategies and understanding the importance of employee engagement could improve employee engagement and have a more robust workforce and beneficial organization.

“…The return of Islamic values aims at managing the increasing materialism, stresses, and burdens of the capitalist and globalized 21 st Century (Choudhury et al, 2020). So much so that the Muslim world has intensified their efforts to reinstitute and establish their educational, public, business, and commercial organizations in compliance with the tenets of Islam and their local culture (Azmat et al, 2020;Bhatti et al, 2020;Fontaine, 2019;Hashim, 2009). Indeed, this purpose has reinvigorated several Muslim Organizations to inculcate Islamic religiosity and spirituality in the workplace (Dusuki & Abdullah, 2007;Fontaine, 2018Fontaine, , 2019Sulaiman et al, 2015).…”

The purpose of the study is to investigate a hybrid model of Islamic piety, by merging exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and an artificial neural network (ANN). The present research was divided into three phases. The first phase applied the Delphi method to identify the dimensions of Islamic piety. In the second, the dimensions established using the Delphi method were used in exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to uncover the underlying structure of Islamic Piety construct. In the last phase, an artificial neural network (ANN) was used to rank the factors discovered to establish their significance. The EFA results offers a new model of Islamic Piety comprising of five factors: Rituals, Belief, integrity, love of family and justice. An ANN model was formed and enhanced using the determination of model variables. The results revealed that the main variables in the Islamic piety are Rituals, integrity, belief, love of family and justice. The implication of this study is useful for educational, academic, organizational management including leadership, training and human development, and policy making initiatives. Management can use the model developed to satisfy the needs of their employees and hence enhance to increase the productivity. This study is one of the pioneering studies in the field of Islamic management and the first to employ ANN. The results of the present research affirm that Islamic Piety is one of the key fundamentals of Islamic faith.
