Objective: This study intended to investigate the relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Organizational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) with moderating role of Islamic Work Ethics (IWE). Methods: A sample of 123 students of Islamabad were surveyed on EI, OCB and IWE and data from this survey were entered into a linear regression model to study the links between these variables. Thirty-four (27.6%), 45 (36.6%), 9 (7.3%), 27 (21.9%) and 8 (6.5%) of the respondents were in the age range of 20 - 25, 25 - 30, 30 - 35, 35 and above, respectively. Furthermore, 7 (5.7%), 23 (18.7%), 43 (34.9%), 31 (25.2%) and 19 (15.4%) had qualifications of Graduate, Masters, MS, PhD and Post Doc, respectively. Eighty-two (66.67%) were male and 41 (33.33%) female. Results: There was a statistically significant linear relation between EI and OCB (Beta = 0.292) whereas IWE also had a notable link with OCB (Beta =0.559). IWE had no significant impact on the relationship between EI and OCB. Conclusion: The interaction effect of EI and IWE did not cause the target sample of the study to exhibit OCB to a significant level.

This study investigated the relationship between Social Distrust (SD) with Personal Suffering (PS). This paper considered Excessive Reassurance Seeking (ERS) as a social method of expressing one’s lack of trust on others. Methods: Analytical technique of linear regression was used to test the relations statistically. A sampling method of convenient and referral selection was applied to select 85 respondents from the city of Faisalabad, Pakistan. Results: Analysis showed that only ERS predicted PS significantly (B = 0.623, p < 0.001). Age also decreased ERS in the sample (B = -0.208, p < 0.01). Conclusion: Age reduced ERS because elders became more focused on their personal objectives and therefore, they did not feel the need to confirm loyal attachment of others. Additionally, ERS contributes to increase PS as people confirm sincerity of their social circle regularly. Friends and family do not withstand constant scrutiny of their motives and individuals who use ERS intensively experience depressing loneliness in the society.
