Abstract

This research aims to look into the direct and indirect links between employees’ spirituality and their organizational commitment.

Occupational stress has been examined as a relationship mediator. We collected data from 447 respondents by means of a structured survey. The data were analyzed using the SmartPLS version 3.3.2 partial least square structural equation modeling.

Workplace spirituality affected the stress of the employees negatively and the three forms of commitment i.e., affective, continuance, and normative commitment positively. Occupational stress has a detrimental influence on all categories of commitment and plays the role of mediator between spirituality and affective type of commitment.

This work is critical for the HR departments of IT organizations to become more familiar with the spiritual side of their staff and to develop timely, suitable policies to increase their commitment to the organization.
