Abstract EN

Purpose: Research on work ethics has acquired considerable scholars’ attention.

Research on employees’ religion-oriented ethics, particularly Islamic Work Ethics (IWE), has remained relatively narrow in healthcare settings.

This study aims to develop and validate a scale to measure Healthcare Providers (HCPs) IWE in Emergency Departments (EDs).

Design/methodology/approach: This study was conducted on HCPs who work at EDs in Jordan.

The scale goes through a series of validation processes, including content validity, face validity, and construct validity.

This study employed exploratory factor analysis for construct validity and Cronbach’s alpha for reliability analysis.

Findings: Exploratory factor analysis yielded 17 strong explanatory items on a three-dimension scale, namely obligation of HCP to their patients, obligation of supervisors to their subordinates and obligation of HCP to their colleagues.

Conclusion: The findings of this study provide a valid and reliable scale that had a satisfactory psychometric property for measuring Healthcare Providers’ IWE in EDs.
