Purpose

This paper aims to examine the relationship between personal spirituality (PS) and organisational spontaneity (OS), focusing on three important elements: altruism, employee resilience and employee voice. The study investigates how PS in the presence of OS can enhance and foster a supportive and dynamic work environment.

Design/methodology/approach

A total of 138 survey-based responses were collected. This paper empirically tests the hypothesis using correlation, regression models and ANOVA. Results were analysed using SPSS, which enables the assessment of complex correlations between constructs.

Findings

The study’s findings show that OS mediates the relationship between PS and prominent workplace behaviours – altruistic actions, employee resilience and employee voice. It indicates that PS positively influences OS, which facilitates certain behaviours and actions within an organisational setting, fostering a supportive and dynamic workplace environment.

Practical implications

With growing employee desire and managerial appreciation for OS, this research extends its implications to talent management. HR policies can evolve to accommodate diverse spiritual expressions, potentially fostering a more engaged workforce exhibiting desirable employee behaviours.

Originality/value

This research has offered a detailed understanding of how OS has influenced the relationship between PS and the specific human behaviour elements – altruism, employee resilience and employee voice. This study has highlighted the importance of spirituality in enhancing positive behaviours in the organisation.
