Abstract:
In order to obtain an improved understanding of behaviour at work, employees should be studied from physical, psychological,
and spiritual dimensions. Although the physical and psychological dimensions of individuals at work have been
studied extensively, the spiritual dimension has been neglected for many years. The objective of the current research was
to determine the relationship between workplace spirituality and a positive attitude related to work, that is, job satisfaction.
A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 600 white-collar workers, chosen from two organizations in
different industries in South Africa. The research results indicate that there is a positive relationship between workplace
spirituality and job satisfaction. These fi ndings deepen the understanding of personal spirituality, organizational spirituality,
and job satisfaction. They bring new insights into the signifi cant role which spirituality plays in the context of the
workplace. To survive in the 21st century, organizations need to be spiritually based. This, in turn, will lead to workers
being satisfi ed with their entire work experience.
