Abstract

The low spirit, lack of higher purpose and meaning in the workplace has an impact towards employees’ morale. Eventually, the commitment to moral will decrease employees’ productivity and organizational commitment at work. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the inluence of individual spirituality toward spirit at work and how it enhances job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The quantitative research through questionnaires was conducted in the branch ofice of PT. Telkom with the highest revenue in the Central of Jakarta. The indings show the importance of workplace spirituality in enhancing job satisfaction and organizational commitments as important factors in increasing company’s performance. Despite the growing belief that workplace spirituality signiicantly relates to performance, the evidence is still needed based on academically proven empirical research that great spirituality is part of the strategic management approach toward better performance. Furthermore, this study supported the hypotheses that individual spirituality is positively impacting spiritat work and in turn positively enhancing job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Further quantitative explanatory approach and/or qualitative exploratory approach will be needed to reach a more solid conclusion.

Introduction

Future organizations will require moral obligations of every organization to contribute to the solutions of the world problems in terms of the social gaps and environmental sustainability. Researchers have discovered that the spiritual sides of the organization are important issues in the company to encourage employees to see work as a part of a higher purpose and be part of the solution to the problems which are addressed by the Sustainable Developmental Goals of the United Nation (Mitroff & Denton, 1999). International Journal of Business Studies Vol 1 No 2 (October 2017). This positive organizational purpose will motivate employees to work for the pro it but for the people and the planet. Mitroff and Denton (1999), reported that organizations which perceived themselves as "more spiritual" saw their organizations as giving more meaning and purpose to the employees, and at the end "more pro itable" (better than their less spiritual counterparts). There is only limited research in regards to workplace spirituality as a dependent variable
