“…This has been particularly evident in Western Society in terms of a shift away from institutionalized religion and movement towards more individualised type religion e.g., a personal search for meaning, a sense of self and enhanced connection with others ). This has led to an increased focus on spirituality and spiritual concepts across many fields including healthcare (Cockell and McSherry 2012;Monod et al 2011;Pike 2011;Williams and Sternthal 2007) and business or workplace literature (Crossman 2010(Crossman , 2011Karakas 2010;Pawar 2009;Phipps 2012). Spirituality has almost become regarded as a new concept, with a lack of recognition amongst some authors of the historical and traditional association between spirituality, religion and health.…”

Previous spirituality studies have mostly been conducted in a Western context (Moberg 2002;Koenig et al. 2012). However, an increasing number of studies are originating from Middle Eastern countries (Koenig et al. 2012). There is a need to review the current status of Middle Eastern research to identify priorities for future research. A search was conducted in two electronic databases: CINAHL and Medline. A final sample of 28 articles was included in the review. Eighteen articles reported on quantitative studies and ten reported on qualitative studies. The majority of previous research has been conducted in Iran (n = 16) and Jordan (n = 6). A total of 3096 participants were included in the studies ranging from 2004 to 2017. Two studies were randomised controlled trials. Most of the qualitative studies aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the concept of spirituality from a Muslim-Arabic perspective. Qualitative findings have conceptualised spirituality as meaning in life, connection, peace and transcendence. In conclusion, there are both differences and similarities between Middle Eastern and Western research on spiritualty and health. Further exploration is warranted to include comparative studies between patient and nurse populations in Western societies and in the Middle East.

“…Although the study of spirituality in the context of the workplace still appears to be in the formative stages of its development, groundbreaking work and several empirical studies consistently confi rm signifi cant correlations between spirituality and positive work outcomes. These relationships include the relationship between workplace spirituality and organizational performance (Neck & Milliman, 1994;Thompson, 2000), organizational commitment (Rego & Cunha, 2008), job involvement, organizational identifi cation, work rewards satisfaction (Milliman et al, 2003;Kolodinsky et al, 2008), work motivation and career commitment (De Klerk et al, 2006), ethics (Giacalone & Jurkiewicz, 2003), emotional intelligence, self-effi cacy (Hartsfi eld, 2003), intrinsic, extrinsic and total work rewards (Kolodinsky et al, 2004(Kolodinsky et al, , 2008, employee performance, organizational effectiveness (Karakas, 2010), leadership (Nooralizad et al, 2011;Phipps, 2012), work values, work ethic (Issa & Pick, 2011), and social justice (Prior & Quinn, 2012).…”

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.
