The Influence of Religiosity and Work Status on Psychological Contracts

Abstract

The primary purpose of this study was to explore the potential of religiosity in predicting employee psychological contracts. In addition, the moderating influence of work status on this variable's relationship with contract outcomes was examined. To minimize the influence of common method bias, a survey was administered to a sample of student employees (N = 172) on two separate occasions. Results provide evidence for the moderating role of work status on the association between religiosity and transactional contract orientation and some support for the theorized distinction between contract orientations of part‐time and full‐time employees. Findings are discussed in light of features unique to this sample and the measures used, providing directions for future research in this area.

Internal reliability was found to be adequate for religiosity (Cronbach's alpha = 0.94) and volunteering intention (Cronbach's alpha = 0.87).…”

Melihat jauh ke dalam: Dampak kecerdasan spiritual terhadap niat melakukan kecurangan

“…Seseorang yang memiliki kecerdasan spiritual dan keimanan akan menampilkan perilaku yang sesuai dengan keyakinannya dan direfleksikan di dalam masyarakat. Hal ini telah terbukti bahwa pengaruh dari spiritualitas dan keimanan yang memadai akan berdampak pada perilaku yang positif (Ntalianis dan Darr 2005). Perilaku positif berarti individu akan lebih menampilkan perilaku yang mempertahankan etika dari pada menampilkan perilaku yang merusak etika seperti kecurangan.…”
