Abstract: | The purpose of this article is to review spirituality at work literature and to explore how spirituality improves employees’
performances and organizational effectiveness. The article reviews about 140 articles on workplace spirituality to review
their findings on how spirituality supports organizational performance. Three different perspectives are introduced on how
spirituality benefits employees and supports organizational performance based on the extant literature: (a) Spirituality enhances
employee well-being and quality of life; (b) Spirituality provides employees a sense of purpose and meaning at work; (c) Spirituality
provides employees a sense of interconnectedness and community. The article introduces potential benefits and caveats of bringing
spirituality into the workplace; providing recommendations and suggestions for practitioners to incorporate spirituality positively
in organizations. |
