Public Organization Review Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the relationship between instigated workplace incivility, organizational justice, and employees’ turnover intention. We examine the organizational justice-outcomes’ relationship in the presence of Islamic work ethics (IWE) and trust in leader (TIL) in the tourism industry. Drawing upon equity theory, we analyzed 363 valid responses via PLS-SEM. The two–wave time lagged design was used for data collection. Our results revealed that Islamic work ethics and trust in leader do affect the hypothesized relationships, signifying those employees high on Islamic work ethics do not tend to show instigated workplace incivility. Recommendations are provided.
