“…A large number of studies prove such positive connections (for a meta-analysis, see Allan et al, 2019). Meaningful work is related to a general sense of meaning in life (Steger and Dik, 2009;Steger et al, 2012;Duffy and Dik, 2013;Schnell, 2018), work engagement (Höge and Schnell, 2012), turnover intentions (Arnoux-Nicolas et al, 2016), depression (Steger et al, 2012;Daniel, 2015), socio-moral organizational climate (Schnell et al, 2013;Höge and Weber, 2018;Schnell, 2018), job satisfaction (Duffy and Dik, 2013;Duffy et al, , 2014Allan et al, 2018;Schnell, 2018;Rothausen and Henderson, 2019), and health experience (Lease et al, 2019), although for the latter there are indications of gender-specific differences (Dich et al, 2019).…”

As research on meaning in work progresses, access to theoretically integrated, differentiated survey instruments becomes crucial. In response to this demand, the present article introduces ME-Work, a modular inventory to measure meaning in work. Derived from research findings on meaning in life, the ME-Work inventory offers three modules that can be used separately or jointly. Module 1 assesses four facets of meaning in work, i.e., coherence, significance, purpose and belonging; module 2 measures the subjective assessment of work as meaningful or meaningless, and module 3 records the extent to which work is perceived as a source of meaning. We report on the development of the instrument and the results of an exploratory factor analysis in a pilot study of 115 working adults. A further study with 278 working adults provided evidence for construct and incremental validity. Relationships with meaning in life, mental health, job satisfaction, socio-moral climate, burnout and work as meaning were investigated. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the factor structure. Gender-specific analyses of the four facets of meaning’s differential predictive power provided additional insights. Practical implications and further research needs are discussed.

“…Furthermore, it was observed that workplace spirituality leads to increase feeling toward others and it acts as a weapon that attracts and retain employees within the organization Jena & Pradhan, 2018). Enhancing trust among people (Neck & Milliman, 1994) and increasing interconnectedness (Daniel, 2015) create a more motivated organizational working environment as benefits of workplace spirituality. Workplace spirituality is very much important not only because it leads to enhance personal growth but also to increase the psychological contract between employers and employees (Ahiauzu & Asawo, 2012).…”

Workplace spirituality is a novel concept and it has been identified as a unique way to improve organizational performance. On the other hand, many organizations are experiencing undesirable consequences of lack of workplace spirituality, such as employee stress, turnover, absenteeism, and lack of employee creativity. Hence, organizations are now focusing on developing workplace spirituality in the workplaces as it offers many advantages to organizations. Despite the growing interest on workplace spirituality, there is still a dearth of research on the topic of workplace spirituality. Literature suggests that employee innovative work behavior directly leads to enhance organizational performance and workplace spirituality leads to increase innovativeness and creativity of employees. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to fill the gap in literature, to a certain extent by proposing a conceptual model to examine the effect of workplace spirituality on employee innovative work behavior. Thus, it proposed that there is a positive effect of workplace spirituality on employee innovative work behavior. Consequently, intrinsic motivation from componential theory of creativity was integrated to identify the mediating effect of intrinsic motivation on the effect of workplace spirituality on innovative work behavior.

“…During the last few years, WPS has become an emerging area of investigation in organizational research (Ashmos & Duchon, 2000;Chawla & Guda, 2013;Daniel, 2015). Many organizational studies have reported significant effect of employees' WPS on many positive work attitudes and behaviors such as job commitment (Chawla & Guda, 2010), individual well-being (Mackenzie, Rajagopal, Meilbohm, & Lavizzo-Mourey, 2000), work unit performance (Duchon & Plowman, 2005), and organizational performance (Fry & Matherly, 2006).…”

This study investigated the effect of healthcare professionals' workplace spirituality (WPS) on moral conviction and prosocial rule-breaking (PSRB). The data were collected from 315 healthcare professionals from three main districts of South Punjab, Pakistan. We determined the measures' validity using confirmatory factor analysis. We investigated the hypothesized relationships using structural regression modeling. The results demonstrated a significant effect of WPS on PSRB and moral conviction. However, the mediating effect of moral conviction between WPS and PSRB was insignificant. Healthcare professionals may regulate PSRB by screening and promoting individuals with high WPS to positions requiring a high level of PSRB rather than considering health service providers' personal moral beliefs.KEYWORDS | Workplace spirituality, moral conviction, prosocial rule-breaking, healthcare professionals, ethical dilemma. RESUMOEste estudo investigou o efeito da espiritualidade no local de trabalho dos profissionais de saúde sobre a convicção moral e quebra de regras pró-sociais. Os dados foram coletados de 315 profissionais de saúde dos três distritos principais de South Punjab, Paquistão. A validade das medidas foi determinada por meio de análise fatorial confirmatória. As relações hipotéticas foram investigadas usando modelagem de regressão estrutural (SEM). Os resultados demonstraram que o efeito da espiritualidade no local de trabalho na quebra de regras pró-sociais e na convicção moral foi significativo. No entanto, o efeito mediador da convicção moral entre espiritualidade no local de trabalho e quebra de regras pró-sociais não foi significativo. Os profissionais de saúde podem regulamentar a quebra de regras pró-sociais, classificando e promovendo os indivíduos com uma elevada espiritualidade no local de trabalho para as posições que exigem alto nível de quebra de regras pró-sociais, em vez de considerar as crenças morais pessoais dos provedores de serviços de saúde.PALAVRAS-CHAVE | Espiritualidade, convicção moral, quebra de regras pró-sociais, profissionais de saúde, dilema ético.
