Abstract: This paper presents analysis of the impact of the Arab Islamic culture self-improvement (Etqan) on employees’ effectiveness in one of the important private sectors which is Jordanian commercial banks, with depth, from the perspective of the employees. To achieving an integration as the key to building noble beliefs and morals based on religious values spiritual competencies can plays major role in that (Nasution, 2019). According to Ababneh and Avramenko (2016) in work organization it has been largely ignored the influence of religion on administration practices and its role in human behaviour. This paper tries to shed light by considering its impact on institutional performance and employee’s effectiveness. In a reign as Jordan, religion is a core element in people daily base, as its supported from government. A benefit is the prevalent behaviour inside and outside work environment (Buthina, Hefin, Brychan, & Caryn, 2020). The question is ‘what’ is the degree of influence of practicing religion practices? This study examines the impact of the self-improvement (Etqan) on Arab Islamic culture and employees’ effectiveness. This is one of more critical area to explore, as it plays a key role communities and is arguably the most important private sector impacting the economy there. Data was analysed from employees from five commercial banks in Jordan with a sample size of 174. Therefore, statistical tests were utilised to test the hypotheses of this study. The empirical results of the research show there is a statistically significant effect to Self-Improvement (Etqan) on HR performance in the commercial banks in Jordan.
