Islamic Work Ethics and Employees’ Turnover Intention: Modeling the Intrinsic Motivation as a Mediator
Abstract
The rationale behind this study is to examine the impact of Islamic work ethics (IWE) on turnover intention (TI) among employees of commercial banks across Pakistan. Further, this research also explores the mediating role of IM on the association between IWE and TI. Survey design opted was cross-sectional, in order to gather data through a convenience sampling technique. Two hundred and eighty-seven employees of commercial banks participated in the survey. For testing the proposed model we employed partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique in Smart PLS3.0. The findings indicate that IWE has a positive relationship with IM, and IM has a negative relationship with TI. It has also been seen that IM mediates the relationship between IWE and TI. The human resource wing should incorporate IWE principles and standards as part of their plan to achieve exceptional work-related outcomes such as high performance, commitment, and lower TI. Organizations should charily assess the magnitude and type of IWE of employees before employing or promoting them. Furthers, managers take steps to promote IWE principles and standards at the organization. IWE principles and Islamic teaching guide individuals in all areas of life; therefore, managers should teach IWE principles and standards via training sessions to increase the level of IWE in subordinates.
