Understanding Role of Workplace Spirituality in Predicting Psychological Well-being among Faculties of Higher Education Institutes

Abstract

The purpose of the proposed investigation is to examine the relationship between spirituality in the workplace and its numerous components, including spiritual orientation, compassion, meaningful work, and value alignment, and their impact on individuals' psychological well-being. To address this purpose, 402 full-time academicians from Bihar, India's state institutions were surveyed using standardized questionnaires. Study revealed strong evidence of a favourable link between spirituality in the workplace and psychological well-being. Workplace spirituality factors such as meaningful work, spiritual orientation, compassion, and value alignment were found to be substantially predicting various measures of psychological well-being in a stepwise linear regression analysis, except of environmental mastery. This indicates that companies should create a spiritual workplace for their employees and provide them with meaningful work in order to boost their health and happiness. The study's limitations and potential applications are discussed.
