Abstract

This study was designed to investigate the effect of Islamic work ethics (IWE) on employees work engagement and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB) among employees working in Public healthcare sector in Pakistan. The data was collected from 189 nurses working in the Public hospitals in Pakistan. It was hypothesized that IWE would positively predict work engagement and OCB among employees. IWE was found to positively predict work engagement and OCB. Conducted in a Pakistani cultural setting, the study demonstrates the significance of IWE in enhancing work engagement among employees. Additionally, it also demonstrates the value of IWE in predicting healthcare employees' OCB.
