Abstract

In a developing country like India, there are so many battles to be won against poverty and deprivation. Workplace spirituality is a necessity for a society which needs to be modernized without losing track of its ethical and spiritual moorings. By improving spirituality climates, managers can promote organizational commitment and thus, individual and organizational performance. It is likely that this occurs because people react reciprocally towards an organization that satisfies their spiritual needs, allows them to experience a sense of psychological safety, makes them feel that they are valued as human beings and that they deserve respectful treatment, and allows them to experience senses of purpose, self-determination, enjoyment and belonging.
