Abstract

This paper analyzes the effect of Islamic trade agreements on the solar panel manufacturing sector in the South Asian region, paying particular attention to the mediating role of tariff reduction policies within the manufacturing sector. Achieving a trade agreement compatible with a developing region’s economy is crucial as it offers a comprehensive understanding of the impact the agreement has on green industries. The study employed a quantitative approach where data was collected from 421 valid respondents representing pertinent stakeholders from the manufacturing industry. Structural equation modeling was utilized to assess the direct impacts that Islamic trade agreements have on manufacturing performance and the indirect impacts that are mediated through tariff reduction policies. The results indicate that solar panel manufacturing under Islamic trade agreements is favorable, due to policies on tariff reductions providing significant mediating effects by promoting constructively lower trade barriers and greater cooperation among businesses from different nations. The research demonstrates the need for policy coherence to enable the growth of renewable energy manufacturing sectors within Islamic economic frameworks in South Asia. This study aims to assist policymakers and industries build sustainable developmental plans to restructure trade and tariff policies for more sustainable industrial growth.

Abstract

This research examines the mediating effect of job satisfaction on the Islamic Work Ethics (IWE) and employee retention practices relationship in the context of the Islamic banking industry in Pakistan. The analysis is anchored on the Social Exchange Theory, which attempts to answer how the observance of IWE enhances satisfaction and leads to retention. A self-administered structured questionnaire was given to employees in different Islamic banks and a total of 252 responses were received and deemed valid. The study is quantitative in nature and uses SEM analysis through AMOS and SPSS to assess the direct and indirect effects of the variables. The results of the study indicate a strong positive relationship between Islamic Work Ethics as a practice and job satisfaction as well as employee retention. In addition, job satisfaction was shown to partially mediate the relationship between IWE and retention, which indicates that organizations need to pay attention to policies that encourage ethical behavior at work. These findings suggest that HR and managerial practitioners in Islamic financial institutions need to formulate strategies that foster employee retention on ethical grounds while improving their satisfaction levels.
