The Details of Workplace Spirituality, Job Satisfaction and Organizational Citizenship Behaviors: A Theoretical Model

Workplace spirituality has steadily been gaining attention in the last couple of years. Many
researchers have investigated the role of “workplace spirituality” with the aim of generating research
data that would firmly entrench this construct as vital in the workplace. This article proposes the
relationships between workplace spirituality, job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behaviors.
It examines the relationship between three workplace spirituality components – meaning and purpose
in work, recognition of an inner life or spirit and interconnectedness with the various forms in which
organizational citizenship behaviours manifest, mediated by the job satisfaction experienced by the
employees. This study can provide significant inputs to promote managerial effectiveness, change
management, leadership, holistic performance and growth of organizations, through environments
which promote workplace spirituality.
