“…As IWE has a significant aspect in a Muslim's life, it exhibits their CSR perception, spiritual values and organizational citizenship behavior. As proposed by Askeland et al (2019), IWE enhances these components by initiating and focusing on an internal belief system. It can benefit others by creating a supportive environment that helps those employees who require help.…”

Purpose The study aims to inspect the impact of employees’ perception of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and their spiritual values on their affective commitment and job satisfaction, which in turn may promote organizational citizenship behavior. Furthermore, this study examines the moderating effect of Islamic work ethics to identify whether they strengthen or weaken the proposed associations. Design/methodology/approach A survey instrument was devised to collect data from employees. The statistical analysis of the data was conducted using the Smart PLS software. Additionally, the research uses the “Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM)” technique. Findings The findings of the study suggest that employees’ perception of CSR exhibits a positive association with affective commitment and job satisfaction. Likewise, employees’ spiritual values demonstrate a positive and significant correlation with affective commitment and job satisfaction. Finally, the outcomes reveal that affective commitment and job satisfaction play a major role in fostering organizational citizenship behavior. Moreover, Islamic work ethics positively and significantly moderate the relationship between employee CSR perception and affective commitment and between employee CSR perception and job satisfaction. Originality/value This research study endeavors to fill the gaps in the current literature by investigating two crucial aspects of employees: their perception of CSR and spiritual values. Additionally, the study includes Islamic work ethics as a moderator to provide a more comprehensive understanding of how these factors contribute to fostering organizational citizenship behavior. This work highlights the significance of spiritual values and social responsibilities in employees’ lives and how Islamic work ethics shape their behavior accordingly.

“…Askeland et al (2019, p. 48) postulated that if the “values are connected and framed in relation to the Christian tradition, they serve as stepping‐stones or even a bridge between the sacred and secular.” This might be the case for the TKC, bridging the deep Christian message of the birth of Jesus and the blessings of the home visit with the collection of money for people in need.…”

Our research addresses the research gap of church charity fundraising in times of decreasing religiosity in the context of post‐communist countries while reflecting international trends. However, the research gap can also be understood more broadly as the inadequate understanding of faith‐based charities. We know “relatively little about how faith‐based NGOs practice policy advocacy and even less about their roles in the education and formation of faith communities in the donor countries” (Nelson, Religious voices in the politics of international development, Palgrave Macmillan, 2021, p. 14). The spiritual background of faith‐based charities and the impact of that background on society have been completely unexplored in the Czech context. The paper examines the “Three Kings Collection” (TKC), an annual fundraising event, during which tens of thousands of volunteer carolers dress as the three kings on their way to meet the newborn Jesus, visiting public places in cities and going door‐to‐door in villages, singing the Three Kings Carol, and asking for donations to the Caritas mission to help people in need. The paper aims to identify the size and scope of the revenues of the TKC and the size, scope, and value of volunteering against a background of decreasing religiosity and declining trust in churches. We also identify the Caritas strategies for overcoming periods of crisis and the challenges facing the TKC that may intensify over time. We articulate the research implications in the field of national and international giving and volunteering.

“…To establish such values, companies must identify both internal factors, such as management functions, and external factors, such as economic, social, technological, cultural, legal, and political factors, to develop effective religious programs. Religiosity is a significant individual characteristic that plays a key role in shaping decisions in daily life (Askeland et al, 2019). Rehman & Shabbir (2010) argue that religious values are an important cultural factor that influences attitudes, values, and behavior.…”

“…Business performance is a multidimensional concept that defines the success of a business and its ability to achieve its goals (Kajitani, 2016;Wang & Lu, 2021). According to Askeland et al (2019), business performance can be expressed as the end result of various company activities.…”

While the importance of implementing value-based strategies has been widely researched, empirical research on applying such strategies to create a religious atmosphere that can improve workers’ performance in companies is limited. Therefore, this study aims to generate a Value-Based Strategy Model for creating a religious atmosphere and examine its influence on steel construction businesses' performance in Indonesia. The model is based on the concept of religious-based values, which provide a competitive advantage for companies by affecting the performance of workers and the overall company performance. The population for this study was 120 steel construction companies in Indonesia, and the SEM-PLS technique was used for analysis. The findings demonstrate that a value-based strategy that creates a religious atmosphere significantly and positively affects the business performance of steel construction companies in Indonesia.
