Abstract
This study investigated the effects of spiritual resource variables on employee emotional exhaustion and emotional ill-health across different geographical regions in the context of job demands and resources (JD-R) theory. Overall, the findings largely confirmed the JD-R hypothesis as spiritual resources did not directly predict emotional exhaustion and subsequently emotional ill-health. The study further confirmed that spiritual resources are relatively independent since spiritual resources were seen to be directly associated with the motivation process of the JD-R model. The findings also suggested that the effects of spiritual resources on emotional exhaustion and emotional ill-health may differ across cultures. Although these findings largely supported the JD-R model and previous studies, in some cases, some findings were not similar across cultures. The findings provided tangible information and data to decision-makers allowing them to make informed choices about which spiritual resource variables mitigate emotional exhaustion and emotional ill-health in different cultures.
