Abstract
Despite the obvious link between spirituality, religiosity and ethical judgment, adefinition for the nature of this relationship remains elusive due to conceptual andmethodological limitations. To address these, we propose an integrative Spiritual-based model (ISBM) derived from categories presumed to be universal acrossreligions and cultural contexts, to guide future business ethics research on religiosity.This article aims to empirically test (ISBM) in the context of Islam. It examines howdifferent Muslims' views of God (emotional component) influence their ethicaljudgments in organizations, and how this process is mediated by their religiouspractice and knowledge (behavioral and intellectual components). Comprising focusgroup and vignette designs, the study was carried out with a random sample of 427executives and management professionals from Saudi. After data collection, the studyhypotheses were tested using structural equation modelling (SEM). The findingsconfirmed that a view of God based on hope might be more closely associated withunethical judgments than a view based on fear or one balancing hope and fear.Furthermore, religious practice and knowledge were found to mediate the relationshipbetween Muslims' different views of God and their ethical judgments. These resultsprovide unique theoretical insights into religiosity's influence on ethical judgment, withimportant implications for management
