Islamic work ethics and employees’ prosocial voice behavior: The multi-role of organizational identification

Abstract

This study aims to uncover the direct and indirect effects of Islamic work ethics (IWE) on prosocial voice behavior in the education sector in Indonesia. Organizational identification has also been investigated extensively as a mediator and moderator of the relationship between IWE and prosocial voice. Self-rated questionnaires were distributed to teaching staff at various universities, and 271 participants were selected for analysis and hypothesis testing. The PLS-SEM results confirmed that IWE positively affect organizational identification and prosocial voice. It was also confirmed that organizational identification acts as a mediator and effective moderator of the relationship between IWE and prosocial voice. This study adds to the knowledge of IWE literature by examining its role in developing organizational identity and prosocial voice. Furthermore, this study offers new insight by exploring the multi-role of organizational identification in the proposed model.
