Exploring the Impact of High-Performance Work Systems on Nurses' Job Performance in Jordan: The Moderating Role of Islamic Work Values

Abstract

The current study investigated the relationship between high-performance work systems (HPWS) and job performance (JP) among nurses in Jordan while examining the moderating role of Islamic work values (IWV). Data from 380 nurses across various healthcare facilities were collected through purposive sampling. The findings revealed a significant positive impact of HPWS on JP among Jordanian nurses. They highlighted the substantial moderating influence of IWV on this relationship, underscoring the enhanced effect of HPWS aligned with Islamic work values. These insights have practical implications for healthcare managers seeking to improve nurses' job performance while considering cultural and religious factors. The study contributes to the discourse on organizational practices, cultural values, and job performance, although limitations include its cross-sectional design and narrow focus. Future research should explore these dynamics across different contexts to further enrich understanding.
