“…The study demonstrates a need to accommodate religion in the organisation; this could foster ethical business conduct and interest in CSR practices, as decision‐makers have to be evaluated based on their intentions to contribute to society rather than to financial results alone. Additionally, enhanced integration of religion into the organisation may lead to improvements in employee motivation and productivity (Syarifuddin et al, 2021), employee well‐being (Huang et al, 2021) and greater attraction of local talent, all of which can have a positive effect on organisational performance. Moreover, the importance of the identified specific Islamic principles suggests that foreign organisations interested in operating in the examined countries may want to consider CSR forms divergent from their domestic market.…”

The role of religion in ethical decision‐making, both for individual managers and at an organisational level, remains elusive due to contrasting findings in extant literature. This is exacerbated by a dearth of studies focusing on specific religious mechanisms that can foster ethical decision‐making, particularly with respect to organisational corporate socially responsible (CSR) behaviour and in backgrounds different from Christianity. This exploratory study investigates the mechanisms in Islam that can influence individual/micro‐ and organisational/meso‐level ethical decision‐making, and hence CSR outcomes. It draws on in‐depth, qualitative data from 63 domestic organisations in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Oman. The findings reveal a complex macro‐normative religious environment, founded on specific factors that shape ethics and decision‐making. Internalised by organisational leaders, these factors translate into organisational CSR behaviour as the organisation becomes a place for fulfilling individual religious responsibilities and even creates CSR products shaped around religious principles. The study contributes to the literature on ethical decision‐making, organisational behaviour and Islamic CSR and offers recommendations for policymakers and practitioners on integrating religion within the organisation.

“…Although this study focuses on dentists, it is essential to recognize the possible impact of the pandemic on all other professionals who perform functions in the dental environment, such as oral health technicians and assistants. One study reported that only 27% of U.S. dentists were able to offer full pay to their employees [27].…”

Objective: To analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on dentists' income and to identify associated factors in one of the poorest Brazilian states. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study including dentists who volunteered to answer an electronic questionnaire in Maranhão. Hierarchical multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed, estimating crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) and respective 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) (alpha=5%). Results: The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the professionals´ income negatively [55.44% (50.26-60.52%)] and also positively [6.9% (4.55-9.94%)]. The negative impact on income was greater among male dentists (OR=2.54; 95%CI: 1.16-5.53), over 30 years of age (OR=3.03; 95%CI: 1.34-6.87), with family income below two minimum wages (OR=4.63; 95%CI: 1.50-14.30), who worked in the continent instead of in the capital island (OR=2.21; 95%CI: 1.14-4.29) and in the private sector (OR=31.43;. Moreover, those who had been tested for COVID-19, with a negative result, had a 21.3-fold greater chance of having an increased household income when compared to those who had not been tested. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the dentists' income in Maranhão, especially the older, males, with lower incomes, and who worked in the private sector, living far from the capital. The SUS played an important role in the social protection of dentists during the COVID-19 pandemic, mitigating the economic impacts on the public sector working class.
