Summary
Religion has an important effect on people’s behaviors and interacts with different aspects of life. Religious beliefs can help individuals cope with stress and overcome difficulties. Religion seems to be a supportive force in reducing mental pressures and crime, as well as increasing life satisfaction. Many religious people form the basis of their moral code based on the teachings in major religions, which express divine rules and behaviors that followers must adhere to. Both theoretical and empirical studies have been carried out on the reflections of religious beliefs and behaviors on the individual, and how they affect the behavior of people in the workplace. Numerous other studies have shown that religion can change one’s perspective on one’s job as a felt social identity in the workplace (Ekizler and Galifanova, 2020)
