Abstract
The inclusion of spirituality at workplaces has yielded significant advantages for the employees and the organisations. The present study probes the optimistic facet of workplace spirituality (WPS) to identify its linkages with one of the most daunting issues for organisations, occupational stress (OS). Police officers from Himachal Pradesh, a hilly state in Northern India, were approached and responses were collected from 385 participants. The study utilises the three-dimensional WPS measure conceptualised by Milliman et al. (2003). Sense of community and value alignment was found to be explaining significant variance in occupational stress. The findings demonstrate the importance of embracing WPS as an effective tool for alleviating OS, thereby augmenting the performance and morale and guiding strategy formulation of future human resource development activities.
期刊介绍：
South Asian Journal of Human Resources Management (SAJHRM) is a peer-reviewed scholarly outlet for publications on HRM in and out of South Asia. It includes countries that are members of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), namely, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. In terms of the discipline focus, all articles broadly focusing on the theory and practice of managing human resources for the benefit of individuals, firms and community at large will be acceptable. In view of the contemporary focus on Strategic HRM, the journal coverage would also include comparative research and other related management disciplines as long as one of the key aims of the manuscript is on harnessing the potential of human capital. Considering the uneven economic development within the South Asian region, the journal encourages potential authors to explore broader implications of their scholarly views and findings on the region as a whole. A distinguishing feature of the journal is its focus on “HR in Practice”. Apart from theory, it will pay significant attention on how HRM is practiced in and out of South Asia. The journal features conceptual and empirical research papers, research notes, interviews, case studies and book reviews. In short, to be considered for publication, a manuscript should broadly focus on managing people and contextualised within one or more South Asian countries at the firm, regional, national and international levels.
