Designing a Model Explaining the Relationship of Spirituality in the Workplace with Human Resource and Organizational Performance

The rapid spread of spirituality and religious beliefs in the new millennium has increased the importance of spirituality and its applications for governments, organizations and managers. One of the most significant issues in this regard is the role spirituality can play in promoting the workplace atmosphere. Thus, the aim of the present research was to design a model to assess the relationship between spirituality in workplace with human resource and organizational performance. To achieve the aim, the researchers first designed a conceptual model using relevant variables collected through a rich literature review and via exploratory factor analysis. Secondly, they examined the model using Structural Equation Modeling. The results of the questionnaires that were collected from a random sample of 217 workers at Allameh Tabataba'i University showed that trust in God, catering for human values of employees, fostering labor force creativity, felling a sense of meaningfulness of work and increasing organization productivity have the greatest impact on each of the latent variables of the model. Based on the values of CPR statistics, the set significant level and model fit indices, the research hypotheses were confirmed.
