Structural equation modeling was deployed to test the hypotheses. Findings This research is conducted to identify specific relationships of variables with the environment. It was discovered that WS affected EP and EE, positively affecting EnPerf. Research limitations/implications This study guides organizations and their management to adopt WS, EE and EP, as these all increase EnPerf in the organization.

This research was conducted to examine whether servant leadership and leadership competency have a significant relationship with the working environment, involving respondents from public university leaders in Malaysia. In addition, this study aims to find the answer either leadership style or leadership competency is more substantial in influencing the working environment which subsequently impacts the success of a university. The results of this study prove that servant leadership and leadership competency have a significant relationship with the working environment with p<0.01. However, the regression results show only servant leadership has a significant influence or contribution towards the working environment with a t-value higher than 1.96. This research suggests that university leaders can consider the servant leadership style in governing their universities. Through literature review and discussion, leaders by now should have more favourable opinions and perceptions towards servant leadership and no longer perceive it as a leadership style for a weak leader. The motivation of conducting this research is due to prevalent leadership issues recently happened at universities leading to unpleasant working environment. It is hoped that the results and discussion of this study can contribute in the form of references to university leaders on the importance of leadership style based on humanity and empathy to obtain a favourable university working environment, aligned with the goals of the National Education Philosophy (NEP) and sustainable development agenda (SD16 -peace, justice, and strong institutions).

“…La investigación sugiere que la falta de justicia distributiva o procedimental se considera perjudicial para los individuos con un nivel alto de ética laboral islámica (Khan et al, 2015). Por la significatividad de este concepto, especialmente en los países islámicos (Ahmad et al, 2021; Islam et al, 2021; Nazir et al, 2022), la ética laboral islámica ha sido utilizada como una variable condicional en las relaciones de los estresores desafío/obstáculo con la creatividad y el agotamiento.…”

“…Research suggests that lack of distributive or procedural fairness is considered as harmful to individuals having a high Islamic work ethic, (Khan et al, 2015). Based on the significance of this concept especially in Islamic countries (Ahmad et al, 2021; Islam et al, 2021; Nazir et al, 2022), Islamic work ethic has been used as a conditional variable in the relationships of challenge/hindrance stressors with creativity and burnout.…”

Drawing on social exchange theory, this study investigated the impact of workplace stressors on creativity and job burnout among engineers. Moreover, it also investigated the conditional role of Islamic work ethics in the above relationships. For testing the hypotheses, data from 161 engineers and their respective managers were collected using a time-lagged approach from various organizations in Pakistan. Further, a structural equation modelling technique was utilized for testing the proposed relationships. The findings suggested a positive impact of challenge and hindrance stressors on employees' burnout. Moreover, challenge and hindrance stressors were found to have a negative impact on employees' creativity. Finally, the results supported a conditional role of Islamic work ethics in the relationships of challenge stressors with creativity and job burnout. While existing literature has focused on the work-related outcomes of workplace stressors, this research has simultaneously incorporated the role of work and non-work factors. Finally, the integration of Islamic work ethics provided a novel perspective for understanding how employees' values and beliefs facilitate effectively managing their behavioural and attitudinal outcomes, particularly under stressful circumstances. RESUMENDesde el enfoque de la teoría de intercambio social, este estudio explora el impacto de los estresores laborales en la creatividad y el agotamiento laboral de los ingenieros. Asimismo, se investiga el rol condicionante de la ética laboral islámica en esas relaciones. Para probar las hipótesis, se recabaron datos de 161 ingenieros de diversas organizaciones empresariales en Pakistán ARTICLE HISTORY
