Examining the Role of Workplace Safety in Mitigating Employees’ Presenteeism and Procrastination through the Lens of Islamic Work Ethics

Abstract

This study intends to explore the moderating role of Islamic work ethics in measuring the impact of Workplace safety on employees’ presenteeism and procrastination behavior. IWEs ensure accountability and strong commitment to the brilliance by motivating employees to be diligent on their tasks. Such motivation reduces procrastination by fostering a secure work environment. Employing the data gathered from 200 university workers through questioners, the study used regression to explore how a secure work environment contributes to control the negative behaviors and investigates the ethical framework defined by IWEs in improving the workplace efficiency. The results confirm that workplaces security has a negative and strong association with presenteeism and procrastination, underlining the significance of producing a safe and supportive work framework to promote workers’ well-being. Furthermore, the findings show that IWE weakens the association among workplace security and workers’ attitude as employees led by ethical values demonstrate less inclinations towards presenteeism and procrastination. This study underlines the strong role of workplaces security and ethical principles in promoting productive workplaces, providing precious insights for companies seeking to improve workers’ productivity and performance.
