The data were collected from 266 respondents and analyzed using hierarchical regression analyses. The results indicated that TL has significant impact on TPC and OPC, whereas CSR mediates the relationship of TL and performance dimensions. Also, WS strengthens the relationship between TL and CSR. We propose implications for practicing managers and researchers hereunder.

“Win‐win”: Dual‐path influence of workplace spirituality on work‐family enrichment

AbstractIn the era of rapid development in the mobile internet economy, mobile intelligent office equipment has exhibited an unprecedented level of “vitality.” The boundaries between work and family are becoming increasingly blurred, fostering the exchange of resources between employees' work role and family role. Workplace spirituality refers to meaningful work, sense of community, and alignment with the organization that individuals develop in their work, which has been demonstrated to have positive impact on work output. It is a question whether workplace spirituality can be spilled over from employees' work role to their family role to improve the performance of the latter and to realize the win‐win results for both roles. Based on work–home resources model and work–family enrichment dual‐path model, this research uses multi‐country data to examine how workplace spirituality influence work–family enrichment through affective rumination (affective path) and problem‐solving pondering (instrumental path). Additionally, work–family segmentation preference is introduced as a moderating variable to identify the boundary conditions between workplace spirituality and work‐related rumination. Research findings show that workplace spirituality can positively predict work–family enrichment; affective rumination and problem‐solving pondering play a partially mediating role in the correlation between workplace spirituality and work–family enrichment. A strong work–family segmentation preference could diminish the positive impact of workplace spirituality on problem‐solving pondering and could also weaken the mediating role of problem‐solving pondering between workplace spirituality and work–family enrichment at the same time. This study reveals the strategies to enhance work–family enrichment from a spiritual perspective, thereby promoting a win‐win situation for both work and family.

Workplace Spirituality as Intangible Resource and Capabilities: As Seen in the Evidence of a Telco Company in the Disruptive Era

Previous research had analyzed the positive impact of spirit at work and spiritual leadership separately as independent variables toward organizational commitment and job satisfaction but had not examined it all at once through the strategic management resource-based view framework. This quantitative study, using SEM PLS, examined the spiritual leadership intangible resources (Vision, Hope-Faith, Altruistic Love, Meaning Calling, and Membership) as the factors to develop spirit at work capabilities, which positively influence Job Satisfaction and Organizational Commitment as the performance proxies. Based on a survey of the data taken from the biggest Telco company in Indonesia, going through volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) phase, this research shows that spirituality matters in the resource-based view of strategic management framework, where resources and capabilities are intertwined in supporting performance. All hypotheses were significant, implying the criticality of embedding spiritual values in creating a greater purpose for all employees. Further qualitative research in this area would enrich workplace spirituality research.
