Abstract EN
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the impact of job stressors like workload, work-life conflict, and safety hazards on work engagement while testing Islamic work ethics as a moderator on the relationship.
Methodology: A time-lagged questionnaire survey method was em- ployed to collect data.
In total 319 responses were collected from medical practitioners working in different organizations under the Health Depart- ment Punjab of Pakistan.
Finding: The results reveal that job stressors, including workload, work- life conflict, and safety hazards reduce work engagement whereas, Islamic work ethics moderates the negative effects of workload and work-life con- flict in such a way that the negative relationship between workload and work-life conflict with work engagement is mitigated when the Islamic work ethic is high.
However, support is not found for the moderating effect of Islamic work ethics on safety hazards to work engagement rela- tionship.
Significance: This research contributes to the extant literature on work engagement of healthcare by unpacking the ways in which issues pertain- ing to excessive workload, work-life conflict, and safety hazards hamper work engagement.
Limitations: The survey researches are susceptible to social desirability bias.
The authors took utmost measures in this regard.
However, results may be generalized cautiously.
Secondly, results are based on time-lagged analysis.
Practical and Social Implications: Managers and administrators may strive to offer optimal workload, provide necessary safety measures and create a work-to-family balance for consistent work engagement of medi- cal practitioners.
