This study examines the effect of Islamic work ethics on employees’ work stress in Libyan higher education institutions. Work stress has become a persistent challenge in Libyan higher education, yet field evidence on whether Islamic work ethics can mitigate this stress remains limited. A descriptive, field-based analytical design was adopted; questionnaire data were collected from a sample of employees and analyzed using inferential statistics to test relationships between Islamic work ethics dimensions and work stress. The findings indicate that Islamic work ethics particularly competence and mastery, kindness and tolerance, and creativity at work are associated with lower levels of work stress. Accordingly, higher education institutions are advised to embed Islamic work ethics through targeted training, leadership practices, and supportive institutional policies, and future studies should examine additional employee and organizational outcomes.
ملخص البحث
يهدف هذا البحث إلى استكشاف تأثير أخلاقيات العمل الإسلامية على ضغوط العمل لدى الموظفين في مؤسسات التعليم العالي الليبية. وتتمثل مشكلة الدراسة في تنامي ضغوط العمل داخل مؤسسات التعليم العالي في ليبيا، مع محدودية الأدلة الميدانية التي تفسر دور أخلاقيات العمل الإسلامية في التخفيف من تلك الضغوط. اعتمدت الدراسة المنهج الوصفي الميداني التحليلي؛ وجُمعت البيانات عبر استبانة وُزعت على عينة من الموظفين، ثم حُللت باستخدام أساليب إحصائية لاختبار العلاقات بين متغيرات الدراسة. وأظهرت النتائج وجود علاقة بين تبنّي أبعاد أخلاقيات العمل الإسلامية (الكفاية والإتقان، الرفق والتسامح، والإبداع في العمل) وبين انخفاض مستويات ضغوط العمل. وتوصي الدراسة بتضمين أخلاقيات العمل الإسلامية في ثقافة المؤسسة عبر برامج تدريبية وسياسات داعمة، مع الدعوة إلى أبحاث لاحقة لاختبار أثرها على متغيرات أخرى مرتبطة ببيئة العمل
