Mediating effect of psychological well-being in the relationship between spiritual climate and role stress among working professionals

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study evaluates the relationship between workplace stress, spiritual climate, and psychological well-being. The study also establishes how an enhanced spiritual climate of the organisation could lead to favourable outcomes for the employees, such as improved psychological well-being and reduced role stress while understanding the mediating effect of psychological well-being in the relationship between role stress and spiritual climate among working professionals. Two hundred and one working professionals completed measures of Psychological Well-Being at Work, Spiritual Climate Inventory, and Organisational Role Stress. The spiritual climate of the organisation showed a significant positive association with the psychological well-being at work of the employees. The spiritual climate of the organization had an indirect effect on the role stress of the employees mediated by psychological well-being at work of the employees, demonstrating that the spiritual climate of the organization coupled with the psychological well-being at work of an employee can help reduce the role stress of the employee.
