“…Moreover, results show that the positive effects of WS on organizational competitiveness are partly mediated by affective commitment, whereas no mediation can (reasonably) be performed by normative and continuance commitment. This is consistent with the evidence that affective commitment, due to its emotional attachment and compliance with organizational values (Campbell and Hwa, 2014), better reflects elements of spirituality in workplace, whereas normative and continuance commitments are related, respectively, to the sense of obligation or utility to work. However, the significance of both direct and indirect paths of relationship suggests that organizational commitment performs only a “partial mediation.” In line with Zhao et al (2010), this is a case of “complementary mediation.” Mediated relationship exists, but it is not the unique path to achieve competitive advantage, as WS is found to directly impact competitive advantage on its own.…”

Purpose This paper aims to theorize and empirically examines the role of perceived spirituality in developing organization competitiveness. Design/methodology/approach The paper adopts a quantitative approach, where the structural equation modeling approached was applied to analyze a unique dataset collected from 550 health-care staff in two international hospitals in Iran. Findings The results show that although the workplace spirituality (WS) can indirectly enhance the development of competitive advantages by affecting the level of organizational commitment; however, the direct relationship of WS and competitive advantage has a higher path coefficient than its indirect one. Also, interestingly, it is found that, although WS affects the three dimensions of organizational commitment (affective, continuance and normative commitment), but only WS by mediating role of affective commitment can affect the competitive advantage at understudied hospitals. Originality/value This study makes important theoretical contributions by conceptualizing and validating the effect of WS on the development of organization competitive advantage. As such, the authors explicate the commitment-related paths through which WS can affect organization overall performance.

“…Workplace spirituality can be recognized as a potential antecedent of organizational stability and organizational performance due to its influences on affective and normative organizational commitments due to the fact that for individuals spirituality is an affective and cognitive experience (Campbell and Hwa, 2014). Being aware of the spiritual tendencies of their organization and having the opportunity to live one's own spirituality people led by spiritual leadership can be more committed to their organization.…”

Fierce competition and oppressing business life of 21st century has given birth to changes in business life and caused some troubles on the side of employees. Unsatisfaction regarding daily working habits has given way to increasing demands of employees regarding a more humane and more meaningful work.

In this paper, we will first explain the spiritual constructs like workplace spirituality and spiritual leadership.

“…These nonegocentric practices contribute to higher level of employee performance in these companies (Hafni and Chandra, 2020). However, a more recent study by Campbell and Hwa (2014) found no relationship between community and employee performance. The limitation of this study is that it utilised Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure employee performance.…”

Employees in the 21st century seek a work environment which allows them to find a sense of purpose at work, within an atmosphere filled with respect and courteous interactions between the employees and their surroundings. The spiritually-oriented work environment is crucial because it shapes employees’ behaviour at the personal level and eventually, improves employee performance. In this paper, a theoretical framework which explains how the spiritual work environment (inner self, community and meaningful work) improves employee performance is presented. This framework can be a reference for organisations in gauging their spiritual work environment, and subsequently incorporating spiritual elements at work as a way to influence employee performance. In return, it contributes to the long-term survival and success of the organisation.
