Literature Review

The term workplace spirituality look is an oxymoron: two ideas that at first glance seem contradictory (Pierce, 2006). Giacalone and Jurkiewicz (2003) said that there are 2 levels of viewing spirituality, individual level and level of organization. Individual level, can be interpreted as a reflection of employees meaningful experiences based on doing the job, employees’ relationship and solidarity and perfection in the workplace (Salarzehi, Aramesh, and Mohammadi, 2011). For organizational level, Garcia-Zamor (2003) defines workplace spirituality as: “The recognition that people are coming to work have over their bodies and minds; they bring individual talents and unique soul”. 

It is stated that workplace spirituality brings good impact, Gull & Doh (2004) defines workplace spirituality as; “The notion that they find more involved, more responsible, more ethical, more collaborative, and thus, more creative”. So, a workplace spirituality does not always mean religion, it consists of meaningful work, a sense of community, and alignment with organizational values.
