Implications of Islamic Governance towards Psychosocial Work Stressors and Work Productivity.

This is a cross-sectional study, using multivariate regression analysis, to explore the relationship of Islamic governance on psychosocial work stressors and work productivity in healthcare settings. The results revealed that Islamic governing components that are culturally assimilating were significantly related to positive aspects of psychosocial work stressors and increased productivity. Organisational goals that are re-directed towards the Maqasīd, i.e. higher order of objectives in Islam, had direct benefits in reducing work-family conflict, promoting general health, increasing job satisfaction and improving commitment to work. Benefits, challenges and recommendations for future studies to expand the field of Islamic governance in organisational and cross-disciplinary healthcare research were discussed.
