Abstract: This study was directed to analyze the effect of Job Autonomy (JA) on Work Engagement (WE) and Job Satisfaction (JS) of employees within different Islamic private banks in Lahore-Pakistan. This cross-sectional study projected to find out the impact of job resources (autonomy) on positive job attitudes by looking into the moderating role of Islamic Work Ethics (IWE) on these job attitudes. Four hypotheses were developed to see the impact of JA on the two positive job attitudes. A survey was conducted and primary source of data was used to assemble the data from respondents by using judgmental sampling technique. PLS Algorithm, Bootstrapping and Blindfolding was used to analyze the study hypotheses. Test analysis showed that JA has positively significant relationship with WE and insignificant with JS under the moderating role of IWE.
