Abstract EN
Purpose: Islamic work ethics (IWE) has been an area of attraction for scholars exploring Muslim employees’ attitudes and behaviors.
This study aims to examine the IWE of healthcare providers (HCPs) in Jordan’s public and private emergency departments, and test the influence of socio-demographic factors and hospital type on IWE.
Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was used.
Data were collected from the HCPs in Jordan middle district hospitals using a selfadministered questionnaire.
In total, 297 questionnaires were completed and returned for analysis.
Descriptive statistics, regression analysis, and independent sample t-test were used to analyze the data.
Findings: The HCPs in private EDs showed a higher commitment to IWE than public EDs HCPs, and statistical differences were found between the public and private EDs.
Multiple linear regression analysis showed that socio-demographic factors (age, gender, income level, professional classification, and social status) do not significantly influence IWE.
Only the hospital type has a significant negative influence on IWE.
Conclusion: HCPs in private EDs showed a high level of commitment to IWE than public HCPs.
Statistical differences were discovered between the public and private EDs.
The regression analysis showed no effect of socio-demographic factors on the IWE.
Originality/Significance: This is perhaps the first paper investigating the influence of socio-demographic factors and hospital type on IWE of HCPs at EDs in Jordan.
Research Limitations/Implications: This paper was limited to HCPs working in eleven hospitals in Jordan’s middle district.
The study’s findings were based on the respondents’ honesty and truthfulness when taking the questionnaire.
Implications for research have also been discussed.
