“…It is regarded as an essential paradigm from an individual's perspective. It seeks to assist workers in discovering pleasure in their job, inner awareness, and a feeling of satisfaction while working within an organizational structure (Anderson & Burchell, 2019;Lata & Chaudhary, 2020). During the initial studies on workplace spirituality, seven unique characteristics of workplace spirituality were found, including the transcendent aspect (Ashmos and Duchon, 2000).…”

Management scholars view workplace spirituality as the main factor behind building trust among employees and playing a pivotal role in enhancing the organization's positive outcomes, i.e., knowledge sharing behavior & work engagement. Underpinning social exchange theory, we explored the linkage between workplace spirituality, knowledge sharing behavior, and work engagement. We further studied to look at the mediating effect of trust between workplace spirituality and positive outcomes. Data was collected from six private companies, the total number of respondents was (n=196). The study's analysis showed that workplace spirituality substantially positively impacts knowledge sharing behavior and work engagement. Furthermore, the link between workplace spirituality, knowledge sharing behavior, and work engagement is positively and statistically significantly mediated by trust. Thus, this work contributes significantly to the research paradigm by presenting workplace spirituality as a solution for high-rise trust among employees, fostering employee engagement in their work, and improving the capacity of knowledge-sharing behavior. Additionally, at the end of this study, theoretical and managerial suggestions, future avenues, and limitations are stated.

“…The premise of effectively reducing and suppressing unethical employee behaviour is to clarify its inducing factors and generation process. The organisational situation is the main factor affecting employee behaviour ( Anderson and Burchell, 2019 ). Corporate ethical values (CEV), as a part of organisational culture, is an important factor affecting the development of employees’ moral habits and is composed of formal and informal ethical policies of enterprises and the moral values of enterprise managers ( Hunt et al, 1989 ).…”

“…It can be seen that the unethical behaviour of employees is the result of a combination of various factors. Both individual characteristics and organisational context are important factors affecting unethical employee behaviour ( Anderson and Burchell, 2019 ). Previous scholars mostly conducted unethical behaviour studies from a single level, such as individuals or organisations, without a comprehensive exploration.…”

In recent years, hotels have occasionally engaged in unethical behaviour. This has become an urgent problem that requires a solution. Based on social exchange theory, this study constructs a theoretical model of the relationship between hospitality’s ethical values and unethical behaviour. According to 543 questionnaires, the findings indicate that hospitality’s ethical values negatively affect the unethical behaviour of employees. Work values played a part in the intermediary role between the two, and perceived organisational support significantly positively moderated the relationship between hospitality’s ethical values and unethical behaviour. By exploring the logical relationship between hotels’ and employees’ morality, this study expands the research content and theoretical framework of unethical employee behaviour and helps to bridge the work values of hotels and individuals. Furthermore, it helps to build a good hotel ethical value system, which can effectively reduce and suppress the emergence of unethical employee behaviour.

These studies, while advancing our knowledge of how religiosity affects ethical consumption, ignore the key issues (e.g., magnitude of the consequences) inherent in unethical consumption and how consumers recognize these issues (Anderson & Burchell, 2019; Chen et al., 2009). In many cases, religious consumers may not be aware of certain issue of ethical consumption (Jung et al., 2016), given that they have long used market logic in their consumption behaviour, where quality and price play dominant roles in their purchasing decisions (Carrington & Neville, 2016).…”

Prior research has paid little attention to the cognitive mechanisms by which religiosity influences ethical consumption. The aim of this study is to explore when and how religiosity might be related to the development of ethical consumption. The study develops an interactionist model describing how religiosity and moral intensity might interact and be linked to the sense of certainty and conviction about the morality of ethical consumption. Data from 333 Muslim participants in Saudi Arabia is analysed using structural equation modelling; it reveals that religiosity and moral intensity are significantly associated with moral certainty which, in turn, predicts ethical consumption intention. Even though religiosity and moral intensity are crucial predictors of moral certainty, the interaction between them has not been proven, indicating that the association between religiosity and moral certainty does not depend on moral intensity. This implies that religiosity is a strong predictor of moral certainty even when recognition of aspects of ethical consumption is minimal.
