Impact of High-Performance Work System (HPWS) on Employee Job Engagement and Job Performance with Moderating Role of Islamic Work Ethics

The current study examines the impact of High-Performance Work System (HPWS) on Employee Job Engagement (EJE) and Job Performance with the moderation of Islamic Work Ethics (IWE). The cross-sectional data is collected from the primary source with the use of self-administered questionnaire. The sample size is 318 and data is collected from the education sector of Pakistan. For the data collection the convenience sampling technique is used. The present study shows that the High-Performance Work System has significant effect on Employee Job Engagement and Job Performance. The present study also shows that the Islamic Work Ethics has positive significant effect on Employee Job Engagement and Job Performance, but the moderation of the present study is not supported by the results. This study will help the education sector and other policy makers to use fair HRM practices at work setting. This study is limited up to one source data and cross-sectional design due to limited time but in future many other outcomes and variables can be discussed through longitudinal design in any other sector or industry. Additionally, the study contributes to the literature on High-Performance Work Systems (HPWS), employee engagement, and Islamic Work Ethics (IWE) by addressing gaps identified in previous studies
