Workplace Spirituality as a Predictor of Psychological Well-Being

Abstract

The dawn of 21 st century has heralded with the development of 'workplace spirituality' as a valuable construct among organizational and management researchers especially working in the emerging area of positive psychology, however, there is a dearth of empirical studies in this newly developing area. Realizing this empirical gap, the paper aims to examine the impact of workplace spirituality and its three dimensions (meaningful work, sense of community, and alignment of personal values with organizational values) on psychological wellbeing and its six dimensions in a sample of two hundred twenty four (224) Indian managers. Data has been collected through questionnaire based surveys. Correlation and regression analysis has been carried out. The findings divulge the fact that when employees experience spirituality at workplace, they feel autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relations with others, purpose in life and self-acceptance which in turn determine their psychological well-being.
