Abstract
One of the approaches that can positively contribute to employees’ wellbeing, effectiveness, productivity, and job performance is workplace spirituality. To this end, with the help of social exchange theory, we examine the impact of workplace spirituality on academics’ job performance through the mediation by work engagement, affective commitment, and organizational trust. This research uses a quantitative research design and employs structural equation modelling to analyse the data collected from 207 faculty members representing Palestinian higher education sector. The results supported the indirect relationship between workplace spirituality and job performance through multiple mediation exhibiting the importance of client-orientation in the higher education institutions. This paper provides insights to university managers in creating spiritual workplaces followed by positive employee outcome in terms of engagement, commitment and trust on their organizations. This study advances the literature on workplace spirituality through studying it in a non-western setting.
