Workplace Spirituality and Organizational Performance in Indian Context: Mediating Effect of Organizational Commitment, Work Motivation and Employee Engagement

Abstract

Prior research on workplace spirituality has mostly looked at the antecedents and consequences of the construct. The purpose of the present research is to investigate the mediating effect of employee commitment, employee engagement and work motivation in the relationship between workplace spirituality and organizational performance in Indian context. Using standardized self-report measures and structural equation modelling (SEM), present research finds that two facets of organizational commitment (namely, affective and normative), employee engagement and work motivation partially mediate the relationship. Implications of these findings for academic theory as well as HR managers are discussed.
