Abstract
Background: In the Red Crescent Society and other national non-governmental organizations, relief workers are engaged on a voluntary basis. Therefore, examining the influence of work ethics on organizational commitment (OC) is of particular importance. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical, cross-sectional study was carried out between March and June 2024 among relief workers in Iran. Data were collected using three validated questionnaires assessing Islamic work ethics (IWE), OC, and job satisfaction (JS). Scores ranged from 0 to 5. A conceptual path analysis model was utilized to estimate the direct and indirect impacts of IWE on OC. Results: Among the 3399 participants, 2221(65.3%) were men and 1178(34.7%) were women, with a mean age of 36.9 years. The mean scores for IWE, OC, and JS were 4.23±0.42, 3.54±0.40, and 3.82±0.40, respectively. Path analysis revealed significant positive effects of IWE and JS on OC. Furthermore, the indirect effect of IWE on OC through JS was +0.204, yielding a total effect of +0.486. Conclusion: Organizing workshops, fostering a spiritual work environment, and implementing monitoring and reward mechanisms for individuals who demonstrate ethical behavior in critical situations may strengthen IWE and enhance OC among Red Crescent relief workers.
