الملخص EN

The current research ط a follow up Investigation of a previous study (Khan ه Nemati, 20لل) on job satisfaction and job involvement.

A survey was conducted by the authors among medical staff of a large private hospital.

The study found some inconclusive evidence regarding the relationship between job satisfaction and job involvement.

To understand this phenomenon in more detail the authors conducted some post-hoc interviews and another follow up survey among 182 employees (including most of the doctors surveyed in the previous study).

Based on the findings of the previous research and the follow-up interviews, the current study investigated the impact of Islamic work ethics on job involvement and turnover intentions.

The authors also studied the effect of job satisfaction on these outcomes.

The results revealed that job satisfaction and Islamic work ethics were positively related to job involvement and negatively related to turnover intention.

Moreover, Islamic work ethics explained additional variance in job involvement and turnover intentions beyond job satisfaction.

The paper provides some future research directions.
