“…This degree of religious beliefs and practices can be interpreted as religiosity. Iddagoda and Opatha (2017) define religiosity as the extent to which a particular person believes in and glorifies the relevant religious creator, god or goddess, then practises the relevant teachings and participates in the relevant activity.…”

The decision-making process for Sharia investment needs to consider the individual’s risk tolerance since every type of investment is closely attached to the risk-return trade-off. This study examines whether multidimensional risk tolerance and religiosity influence Sharia investment decisions. The study used 300 potential Muslim investors in Indonesia as the primary data source through an online survey with a convenience sampling method and analysed the data using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results show that three multidimensional risks (risk propensity, risk attitude and risk capacity) have a significant effect on the Sharia investment decision. The research also tested the moderating effect of religiosity levels by performing Multi-Group Analysis (MGA) and found significant differences between risk propensity and sharia investment decisions among moderate and devout religious individuals.

This study is a systematic and scientific attempt to fill five identified research gaps in the existing literature with regard to employee engagement through the use of empirical evidence from Sri Lankan listed companies. This study focuses on investigating employee engagement, its selected dynamics such as high-performance work practices (HPWPs), religiosity, personal character, leadership, work–life balance, and mediating effects of employee engagement on the relationship between the selected dynamics and employee job performance. The data gathered from 272 executives and managers in the Sri Lankan listed companies were analyzed and a set of hypotheses established and developed based on the theoretical and empirical accounts with regard to the dynamics of employee engagement, the combined effect of the dynamics of employee engagement, employee engagement as an independent variable, and the mediating role of employee engagement. A total of 12 hypotheses were tested with minimum researcher interference, in a noncontrived setting as a cross-sectional study and they were substantiated. Implications of the research findings have been discussed.

“…According to Opatha (2010), nurturing virtues within the person while lessening or eradicating their vices helps in the development of a good personal character. Iddagoda and Opatha (2017b) define religiosity as the extent to which a particular employee believes in and venerates a founder, gods or goddesses of the relevant religion, practices the relevant teaching and participates in the relevant activities. Religiosity involves one's being religious earnestly and truly, rather than being religious frivolously and nominally.…”

It is a known fact that all organizations, other than philanthropic ones, are concerned about increasing their financial performance. The Covid-19 pandemic indisputably affects the organizations’ triple bottom line, especially profit. Hence, it is essential to make plans for the post-Covid-19 pandemic world. Consequently, one solution is to pay more attention to the increase in the level of advantageous personal character traits among the employees. The personal character is a blend of virtues and vices. The highest level of virtues will enrich the level of the advantageous personal character traits. The aim of this paper was to provide a definition of the personal character and to present an instrument for the construct of the personal character. The importance of having a good personal character is also addressed as a part of this study.
