Engaging work as a calling: examining the link between spirituality and job involvement

Abstract

This research examines the link between workplace spirituality and job involvement. The literature on job involvements suggests that meaningful work has the potential to increase both employee satisfaction and organizational outcomes. Workplace spirituality has the potential to increase job involvement of employees across different organizational types and professions by engaging individuals in meaningful ways. The integration of job involvement into research on spirituality also has the potential to provide clear empirical evidence to support the value of workplace spirituality for organizations. We also discuss concerns for individuals and organizations that integrate spirituality and directions for future research.
