| Summary: | This study aimed to reveal the impact of Islamic work ethics on both organizational citizenship behavior and job performance of the academic staff in the faculties of Applied Sciences in the Sultanate of Oman through the organizational citizenship behavior as an intermediate variable. The study adopted the Social Exchange Theory, which is considered one of the most well-known social and psychological theories whose social vision explains social change and stability as a negotiation process between several parties. That is because the basis of this theory corresponds to the main idea contained in the present study since the reciprocal process between the applications of Islamic work ethics and citizenship behaviors may create better performance in the organization, which justifies the use of the Social Exchange Theory as the basis for this study. The study used the questionnaire as a tool to collect the responses of the study sample in relation to its three variables. The study relied upon three measuring tools (models) used in previous studies as their validity and experimentation were proved. These measuring models are Islamic work ethics prepared by Ali 1992, organizational citizenship behavior by Borman 1993, and functional performance by Al-Anzi and Al-Attwi 2007. After conducting rationing and passing the required psychometric conditions of validity and relaibility on a pilot sample of (40) participants to conform to the current study population, the study was conducted on a random stratified sample of (226) participants out of the total population of the current study. In order to analyze the study data, the study utilized the Smart Plus Program to obtain the averages, standard deviations, coefficients of reliability and validity, modeling by structural equation and empirical factor. The findings of the study revealed that the sample of academic staff working in the faculties of Applied Sciences in Oman obtained a relatively high average in the model of Islam work ethics with a mean of (4.252), with a mean of (4.275) in the model of organizational citizenship behavior and of (4.018) in the measure of job performance. The findings of the study also showed that the standards of Islamic work ethics, organizational citizenship behavior and job performance used in the present study are of good working structure that conforms to the theoretical assumptions on which they were based, and these standard models have acceptable validity for applicability. In addition, the findings proved the first hypothesis of the study which included a positive and statistically significant effect of Islamic work ethics on the job performance of the academic staff in the faculties of Applied Sciences in Oman with a value of (0.696), indicating that the effect between these two variables was directly correlated, incorporeal and high with a strong impact. They also proved the validity of the second hypothesis of the study which included a positive and statistically significant effect of Islamic work ethics on organizational citizenship behavior with a value of (0.833). The findings indicated that the effect between these two variables was directly correlated, incorporeal and high with a relatively strong impact. The findings proved the validity of the third hypothesis of the study which included a positive and statistically significant effect of organizational citizenship behavior on the job performance of the academic staff in the faculties of Applied Sciences in the Sultanate of Oman with a value of (0.875). The fourth hypothesis of the study was also proved to be valid, including a reference to the existence of a positive indirect and statistically significant impact of Islamic work ethics on job performance through organizational citizenship behavior as an intermediate variable among the academic staff in the faculties of Applied Sciences. The findings of the current study also supported some assumptions of the Social Exchange Theory and the theoretical framework of the study with empirical evidence contributing to the expansion of the application of some of the assumptions of this theory in a new society. Finally, the study added a new empirical knowledge regarding the intermediary role of organizational citizenship behavior in the relationship between Islamic work ethics and job performance among the academic staff in the faculties of Applied Sciences in Oman. |
