Abstract
PurposePositive work attributes and moral behaviors are vital for creative organizations, their people and sustainable work systems. The twofold purpose of this study is first, to describe the concept and importance of work ethics in the light of Quranic verses, and second, to examine the link that explains how Islamic work ethics (IWE) predicts work engagement in an individual. A dual mediation path is identified and tested.Design/methodology/approachData were collected using a cross-sectional design, and a sample of 373 health-care employees provided empirical evidence for the conceptualized model.FindingsResults showed full mediation for both mediators, meaning individuals demonstrating higher IWE have strong cognitive and emotional resources that help them to immerse in work constructively. Data was analyzed using SPSS V.16. Implications and future directions are further discussed.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the scant area of identifying IWE consequences in contemporary organizations and extends the understanding of work engagement by linking it with an affective resource as a potential mediator in the mechanism.
