Impact of workplace spirituality on employee performance, engagement and organisational citizenship behaviour

Abstract

This paper aims to explore the scope, existing literature, and generation of new insights in the field of workplace spirituality. It is a secondary research study based on published articles from peer-reviewed journals. A total of 100 research papers, along with 15 PhD dissertations from leading universities, were analyzed using content analysis. Integrating workplace spirituality into organizational culture can significantly influence employee performance and organizational citizenship behavior. Research suggests that workplace spirituality enhances productivity while reducing absenteeism and employee turnover. However, further studies are needed, particularly in emerging markets like India. While empirical evidence generally supports a positive link between workplace spirituality and organizational citizenship behavior, there is limited research on how organizational citizenship behaviour impacts job performance, with workplace spirituality acting as a moderating factor.
