Abstract
This paper aims at embodying an in-depth investigation of the Knowledge Management (KM) and Islamic Work Ethics (IWE) on quality competitiveness and innovation prevailing in the health care industry. The fundamentals of KM and IWE on quality competitiveness and innovation were examined by using a valid survey instrument. A total of 250 administrative and medical officers serving in the public sector organizations of Pakistan contributed to the survey. The empirical findings indicated that KM for innovation is substantial in the public sector organizations. The association of KM with innovation and employees’ quality competitiveness in public sector organizations was found to moderate IWE. While the research was notable and confined to Pakistan’s public sector organizations, this study has far-reaching consequences for the advancement of a bright workforce in other sectors and across regions. Further, a crosssectional study stimulated the confirmation of results. A consideration of KM, IWE, and its consequences among the pledge of the workforce for innovation enables public sector organizations to design and implement upgraded initiatives. To counter the significant need for determining IWE and its work outcomes in non-Western working domains, this article identified the extent to which IWE influences the relationship between KM and innovation aptitude of public sector organizations. Scholars and practitioners will find the novelty of the study variable. Our study has certain limitations, like reliance on crosssectional data. In the future, longitudinal data may be used. Secondly, we used only one sector which restricts the generalizability of the study. In the future, the study could be replicated by other sectors.
