Full textAbstract:
This study examines the effect of Islamic Work Ethic (IWE) and Ethical Climate (EC) on Counterproductive Work Behavior (CWB). The sample was 115 employees of Islamic financial institutions in Lampung, Indonesia. The analysis shows that IWE has a negative effect on CWB, EC also has a negative effect on CWB. This finding shows that CWB can be reduced by IWE and EC. EC influence is slightly higher than IWE shows that although IWE plays a good role in reducing CWB, the role of the ethical climate in the organization has slightly greater in reducing CWB.

Full textAbstract:
Long-term customer relationships develop over repeated interactions, underscoring the importance of frontline employees (FLEs) engaging in ethical behaviors. Therefore, organizations must understand how a strong ethical climate (EC) may affect attitudes and behaviors among FLEs. This study reviews frontline-related EC research and employs a meta-analytic approach to investigate the direct, indirect, and contingent effects of EC on FLE actions, attitudes, and outcomes. The authors reviewed 67 frontline-related studies comprising a sample of 21,118 respondents to assess meta-analytic associations and derive a model for structural testing. The findings from this study show that a strong EC drives customer-oriented behaviors, fosters desirable job attitudes, reduces felt stress, increases perceived performance, and decreases turnover intentions among FLEs. The strength of theses associations is often predicated on individual-level (FLE experience), study-level (response rate), and country-level (perceived corruption, individualism/collectivism) factors. This study offers theoretical and managerial contributions germane to multiple uncertainties in service literature about EC’s implications on FLEs, including EC’s ability to break through sources of tension-facing FLEs, the mediated nature of EC’s impact on perceived performance through frontline actions, and the generalizability of the economic and human benefits of EC across service contexts and frontline roles that foster greater diffusion in practice.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: Drawing upon contingency theory, this study aims to investigate the relationship between risk management practices (RMPs), ethical climate (EC), and organizational performance (OP) in public organizations within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Specifically, the study explores the moderating effect of EC in shaping the relationship between RMPs and OP.
Design/methodology/approach: Survey data were collected from a convenience sampling of 392 senior government directors within public organizations in the KSA through an online questionnaire. The relationships between study constructs were analyzed using PLS-SEM with the bootstrapping technique.
Findings: The study's findings reveal a significant positive impact of both RMPs and EC on organizational performance. Notably, the research demonstrates that ethical climate significantly moderates the positive relationship between RMPs and OP, highlighting the critical importance of ethical conduct in maximizing the effectiveness of risk mitigation strategies.
Research limitations/implications: The study's focus on the Saudi public sector and its use of a convenience sampling technique, primarily comprising senior government directors, are significant limitations when interpreting this study's findings. Expanding research to incorporate diverse organizational settings could significantly enhance this work's generalizability and practical implications. Additionally, focusing solely on EC as a moderator in the RMP-OP relationship overlooks other potentially relevant factors. Future research could delve deeper into the mechanisms through which ethical climate strengthens the impact of RMPs on performance, providing valuable guidance for organizational interventions.
Originality/value: This study's originality lies in its first-time examination of ethical climate as a moderator in the relationship between RMPs and organizational performance within Saudi public organizations. Further, study findings expanded the scope of contingency factors demonstrating that a strong ethical climate significantly amplifies the positive impact of RMPs on performance, providing compelling evidence for considering ethical climate as a crucial contingency factor for public sector success.

Full textAbstract:
Although plenty of discussions have been conducted on the importance of top management’s ethical commitment (TMEC), companies’ ethical climate (EC), sustainable procurement practices (SPP) and organizational performance, empirical studies to explain the mechanism through which the top management’s ethical commitment generates favorable performance for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are still not yet established. Constructing a formal theory, we recommend that TMEC contributes to SMEs’ performance by promoting the company’s EC and SPP. This hypothetical outline was empirically tested using a sample of SMEs in Saudi Arabia. This study tested hypotheses using structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Our analysis shows that TMEC significantly predicts companies’ EC and SPP, which then fully mediate the effects of TMEC on SMEs’ non-financial performance (NFP). This research supports the reasonable theoretical statement that TMEC boosts SME performance by providing empirical validation. The results also show that TMEC, the company’s EC, and SPP impact SMEs’ performance directly, except for the impacts of SPP on FP.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the mediating effect authentic leadership (AL) has on professional identity (PI), ethical climate (EC) and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB) and political behavior (PB) among elementary school principals in Israel.Design/methodology/approachFour hundred and ten elementary principals from various Israeli districts participated in the study. The research is based on principals' self-report questionnaires. The analysis focused on SEM using AMOS software.FindingsResults indicated that AL fully mediates the relationships between PI and OCB and PB while partially mediates the relationships between EC and OCB and PB.Research limitations/implicationsThis study could contribute to the design of an integrative model not previously researched, while exploring relationships between behaviors perceived as mutually opposite. This study suggested that to increase OCB and decrease PB, authentic leadership among elementary school principals should be enhanced by educational leaders.Originality/valueThe new model is likely to help school principals to deal with political behaviors while fostering citizenship behaviors during their work. Educational leaders may design professional training for principals in order to encourage the development of the positive aspects of OCB and PB.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of formal [ethics training (ET)] and informal [psychological ethical climate (EC)] controls in reducing service sabotage (SS) and increasing employee commitment to service quality. Design/methodology/approach Data were electronically collected from a national survey of hotel/motel customer contact employees leading to a usable sample of 316 employees. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Findings The findings indicate that ET can be used to positively influence the EC of customer contact service employees, which, in turn, reduces their SS behavior and increases their commitment to service quality. Practical implications Management should incorporate both formal (ET) and informal (EC) controls to bring about less SS and greater commitment to service quality among customer contact employees in service settings. Originality/value This research furthers the understanding of SS by finding an important variable, EC that may be used to reduce its incidence in service settings. Further, it shows that EC is an important contributor to improving ECSQ. As such, this research gives important direction for companies wishing to improve the customer service experience.

Aim: The aim of current study is to investigate the moderating effects of Locus of control and perceived employment alternatives among Job embeddedness ethical climate with turnover intention Background: Quality care and health services are based on the diligence of health workforce. As per the report of WHO Pakistan is also one of the countries having shortage of workforce especially paramedical staff. Material and Methods: This is a quantitative study. Survey based approach was used. Self-administered questionnaire was used. 242 completed questionnaires were received and used in the statistical analyses. Results: Results elaborated that there is significant relationship among job embeddedness, ethical climate, and turnover intention, ethical climate, LOC. and turnover, PAEO, LOC and turnover. LOC does act as a moderator on JE, and turnover while PAEO does not act as moderator on JE and turnover, on the contrary LOC and PAEO does not moderate on JE and EC and turnover intention. The future researchers can explore the concept in depth to keep employees stick to their jobs. Conclusion: Nurses work in a stressful environment in the healthcare organizations it is therefore essential for the healthcare organizations to retain the nurses for long time and reduce turnover intention. Practical Implications: Ministry of Health (MoH) Pakistan and healthcare professionals, hospitals’ administration can take benefit and formulate policies to increase the job satisfaction of nurses and reduce turnover intention. Turnover incurs direct and indirect cost and healthcare organizations’ cannot afford high turnover intention of the nurses as there is already shortage of health workforce in Pakistan.

Purpose Although trust is considered a dyadic and bidirectional phenomenon, the majority of trust research has not considered it as such. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to closing this research gap by analyzing the influence of supervisor’s propensity to trust on salesperson trust in supervisor, considering the mediating role of servant leadership (SL). Additionally, the authors delve into the relationship between trust in supervisor and salesperson turnover by examining the moderating effect of perceived ethical climate (EC). Design/methodology/approach Information was provided by 145 salesperson–supervisor dyads from 145 companies across various industries. SEM and PROCESS procedures were used to test the proposed hypotheses. Findings The results indicate that a supervisor’s disposition to trust is positively related to employee trust in the leader via its impact on perceived SL behaviors. However and contrary to the expectations, supervisor’s propensity to trust is found to have a direct negative impact on trust in the supervisor, suggesting the presence of additional mediating variables. Finally, the trust dimension of EC moderates the negative influence of trust on salesperson turnover intentions. Research limitations/implications The findings highlight the practical benefits of fostering trust in the workplace and confirm the significant role of trust in the identification of servant leaders. In addition, the study shows that a supervisor’s disposition to trust can have a relevant effect on salesperson’s turnover intentions. Moreover, the results demonstrate the beneficial role of an ethical work climate. Originality/value This study offers insight into how to improve the retention of efficient employees and the role of trust, analyzed at a dyadic level, in this process. In addition, the findings suggest why servant leaders adopt this leadership style.

Full textAbstract:
In December 2019, a European Green Deal was introduced to the EU and its community as a new development strategy by the European Commission (EC). The key goal of the European Green Deal is to reshape the EU into an ethical society with efficient use of resources and a modern-competitive economy. The European Commission targets an absolute reduction of greenhouse gases net emissions by 2050 in all EU. Thus, one of the most important actions in implementing this new growth strategy “EGD” is to coordinate the industry for a circular and clean economy. To reach this goal, EC introduced the most advanced legislation follow-up package that EU's society and businesses can benefit from. This legislation package includes actions and steps with a connecting guideline of principal policies, starting from a very determined goal in eliminating emissions, as well as investments in related innovation and research in order to protect the natural environment of Europe. However, reaching the goal of being the first among other continents to be climate- neutral by 2050 is so far the biggest challenge, as well as the greatest opportunity for Europe. In reality, in order to implement such advanced goals, obstacles need to be addressed as well, in national and international level. Thus, this paper analysis the European Green Deal (EGD) policy, the opportunities provided by EGD, and in particular the challenges faced for reaching the targets of EGD.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the problem of global ethical and social indiff erence in re-lation to Pope Francis’ refl ection on the need to oppose the globalization of indiff erence and the need to combine ecology as a refl ection on nature with anthropology as a refl ection on man. 149„Nie ma ekologii bez antropologii”. O zobojętnieniu ekologiczno-społecznymThe author analyzes Pope Francis’ Laudato si encyclical, juxtaposing its refl ec-tions with the thoughts contained in His other encyclicals, apostolic exhorta-tions, homilies, speech documents and books, thus showing a broader pano-rama of thoughts on the relationship between climate change on our planet and the present economic and social situation. The argument is, that “integral ecology” proposed by Pope Francis, which includes both nature and man, is an expression of ecological and social sensitivity, an example of concern for the fragility of both man and nature. Consequently, the author concludes that true ecological sensitivity is also a social sensitivity, as it includes the issue of social justice in the discussion of the environment, allowing for the opportunity to hear the cry of all harmed and suff ering beings.
