Nowadays, identifying fundamental and sustainable solutions for enhancing desirable organizational behavior has become a primary concern for managers. This study aims to assess the effect of reinforcing Islamic intellectual foundations on employee organizational behavior, considering the mediating mechanisms posited by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), thereby addressing the existing lacuna in utilizing religious principles to improve organizational behavior within a scientific framework. To achieve this objective, an experimental method and ex-post facto technique were employed. The statistical population comprised all employees of Allameh Tabataba'i University, from which a sample of 30 individuals was selected through purposive non-probability sampling and underwent training in Islamic intellectual foundations. The findings indicated that the post-test scores of the experimental group, compared to the pre-test scores, significantly increased across all variables, including attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, behavioral intention, and ultimately, organizational behavior. These results suggest that training in Islamic intellectual foundations, through influencing the socio-cognitive mechanisms of the TPB, can serve as an effective strategy for improving organizational behavior.
