Abstract:
Although workplace spirituality has been investigated over the past 20
years, much remains unknown about this topic. The aim of the study was
to confirm previous research findings regarding the relationship between
workplace spirituality and job involvement for a South African sample,
and to extend the current limited body of knowledge regarding workplace
spirituality by determining a relationship between job involvement and
workplace spirituality. From a positive psychological framework, it is
postulated that workplace spirituality will lead to job involvement. The
intention was to determine whether a change in job involvement can be
attributed to workplace spirituality. A cross-sectional study was conducted
with a sample of 412 employees chosen from two organisations in
Welkom, South Africa. The sociodemographic variables, workplace spirituality and job involvement were measured using a quantitative
measuring instrument. The main findings of this research indicated a
positive statistical significant relationship between workplace spirituality
and job involvement. The results showed that a change in job involvement
can be attributed to workplace spirituality. These findings have deepened
the current understanding of workplace spirituality and positive workrelated
attitudes.
