Abstract

The current research article aims to investigate spiritual values a predictor of the work-related well-being of pharmaceutical scientists in Indian Pharmaceutical companies. For the same, 150 scientists working in different pharmaceutical companies in India were asked to respond to questionnaires viz., the Spiritual Values Scale (SVS) - Husain, Zehra and Jahan (2013), and Index of Psychological Well-being at Work (IPWBW) - Sandilya and Shahnawaz (2018). The findings suggest spiritual values and its dimensions (values fostering high quality work, intrinsic qualities and natural qualities) as significant predictors of the work-related well-being as well as its facets (interpersonal fit at work, thriving at work, feeling of competency at work, perceived recognition at work and desire for involvement at work) of pharmacy scientists. It was found that spiritual values and its dimensions had significant predictive influence on work-related well-being.
