Abstract:
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.
