Religiosity & Work Dynamics: Understanding Links to Resilience & Productivity

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between religiosity and two key workplace outcomes: employee resilience and productivity. Using a quantitative survey design, data was collected from 212 professionals across various sectors. Three theoretical frameworks were relied on: Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, and Attachment Theory; the study conceptualizes intrinsic religiosity as a personal resource that enhances coping and performance. Statistical analyses — including correlations, linear regressions, and moderator testing — revealed that intrinsic religiosity significantly predicts both resilience and productivity. Gender was examined as a potential moderator but showed no significant influence. The findings suggest that religiosity positively contributes to workplace well-being and performance, regardless of gender. Implications highlight the importance of supporting employees’ internal belief systems within inclusive and ethically sensitive frameworks. Recommendations for future research and practical applications are discussed.
