| description | Employing social exchange and norm of reciprocity theory, our study explores the link
between Islamic work ethics (IWE) and workplace deviance. Results of the study show
that IWE is negatively linked with workplace deviance. The role of employees’ perceived
abusive supervision as moderator and the role of employees’ hostility as mediator on the
link between IWE and workplace deviance are studied. The moderating role of
employees’ perceived supervisory abuse and the mediating role of employees’ hostility
on the link between IWE and workplace deviance is confirmed. Utilizing a time-lagged
research plan that allowed data collection in two waves, we collected responses from 189
employees of different organizations (specializing in manufacturing, engineering,
banking, transportation, and information technology) across Pakistan. Moderated
mediation regression is used to test our hypotheses. A large number of responses
collected from employees working in other Islamic cultures and countries would further
improve the generalizability of our research findings. Generally, researchers seem to
assume, while focusing only on one side of the Islamic teachings, that IWE-related job
outcomes would always be positive. Our study adds to the literature by challenging this
assumption. We observe a change in the direction of the observed relationship between
IWE and workplace deviance when employees’ perceived abusive supervision is high
through their hostility. These results are also explained with the help of Islamic teachings.
By helping researchers and practitioners to better understand employee personality and
perceptions, this study would proactively guide them toward protecting the workforce
and the workplace from damaging consequences. |
