Examining impact of Islamic Work Ethics on Innovative Work Behavior and Psychological Capital and a Moderating Role of Humble Leadership
Abstract
Ethical misconduct has been increased in the current century, stressing on the importance of Islamic Work Ethics (IWE) in the workplace. This aimed to extend the IWE literature by investigating the role of IWE in enhancing Innovative work behavior (IWB) and psychological Capital (PsyCap). Further, this study proposes that humble leadership acts as a boundary condition that supports the positive effect of IWE with IWB and PsyCap. Adopting time lagged, multi sources and survey design data collection approach, data was collected from a large company established in Pakistan (N=245). The obtained results supported the proposed hypotheses and confirmed that humble leadership moderates the link of IWE with IWB and PsyCap. This study offers theoretical implications
