“…Hence, it was concluded that discriminant validity was also established between the constructs. These findings have some inconsistencies with the findings of Shrestha (2016), who found that the internal consistency reliability of compassion dimension was below .70 and discriminant and convergent validity of transcendence dimension did not meet all measures to ensure validity.…”

“…Associations between each statement and its dimension ranged from 0.34 to 0.81, and the r-square from 0.12 to 0.71, which provided proof of satisfactory convergent validity of WPS in the South Asian context. Shrestha (2016) validate this scale in the Nepali context who found that the internal consistency reliability of the compassion dimension was below .70 and discriminant and convergent validity of transcendence dimension did not meet all the criteria to confirm the validity of this scale.…”

Workplace Spirituality (WS) is recognized as inner state of individuals and an aspect of their working life. This study was conducted to evaluate the psychometric properties of Workplace Spirituality Scale (WPS) developed by Petchsawang and Duchon (2009) in Pakistani context school teachers. The participants for this study were 400 public school teachers. The present study was a quantitative research and cross-sectional survey design was applied. The data were collected personally by researchers and necessary guidelines were shared with the respondents. EFA and CFA were applied to evaluate the psychometric properties of Workplace Spirituality Scale (WPS) in Pakistani context. The results confirm the four factors model (transcendence, mindfulness, compassion and meaningful work) and generalizability of WPS. Furthermore, statistical analysis established adequate reliability and validity of WPS. The modifications in this scale are mentioned, and recommendations for further research are discussed.

“…Workplace spirituality is how a person interprets and lives his religious values and then applies them to the workplace environment so that they can work well to improve performance and establish good relationships with others at work. Shrestha (2016) Workplace spirituality defines workplace spirituality as an organizational value framework reflected in a culture that encourages employees to experience transcendental experiences through work processes so that they feel connected to others thoroughly and happily. According to Shrestha (2016), Mindfulness, transcendence, purposeful labor, and compassion are aspects of spirituality in the workplace.…”

A person's spirituality at work may be described as their understanding and practice of religious beliefs in a manner conducive to and consistent with the job. This allows them to excel professionally while also cultivating healthy relationships with colleagues. Since the university is a gathering place for students and teachers to share knowledge, university employees also play an important role in helping students. If the University's staff and lecturers are to carry out their duties effectively, raise the bar for classroom teaching, and attend to the needs of their students, it is essential that they operate in an atmosphere that is more spiritual. This study aims to investigate the effect of spirituality on productivity in the workplace. In order to measure spirituality at work and job performance, this quantitative research surveyed 100 workers. We analyzed the collected data using SPSS for basic regression. The findings showed a computed t-value of 5.859 at a 0.001 level of significance. Considering that the computed t-value (5.859>1.196) is more than the table t-value and the significance threshold is less than 0.05 (0.001<0.05), it may be concluded that spirituality in the workplace significantly impacts performance. This research contributes to the expanding literature on academic human resource management by illuminating the relationship between spirituality at work and productivity in higher education. The study has practical implications for leaders and managers at other institutions. By creating a more spiritual work environment, students' learning is enhanced because of the increased awareness and support for spirituality in the workplace.

There is growing interest in examining the influence of workplace spirituality (WPS) on employee attitudes. However, there is still lack of studies that examine the relationships between WPS and employee attitudes and moderating effect of other variables on these relationships. This study examined the relationships between WPS and two job attitude variables -job satisfaction and job involvement. It also examined the moderating effect of perceptions of organizational politics (POP) on these relationships. Survey questionnaire was used to collect data from 500 employees working in two Nepali organizations, of which 480 questionnaires were used for further analysis. Structural equation modeling and multiple moderated regression analyses were used to test the hypothesized relationships. Results indicated that WPS is significantly positively related to job satisfaction and job involvement and POP moderates the relationship between WPS and job involvement. Research implications are discussed and limitations of the study are highlighted.
