The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effect of thriving at work on the relationship between workplace spirituality and psychological well-being as well as the moderating effect of organizational justice on the influence of workplace spirituality on thriving at work. This study also examined the moderating effect of organizational justice on the indirect influence of workplace spirituality on psychological well-being through thriving at work.
This study followed quantitative cross-sectional survey design. Two hundred and forty-three employees working in Nepali organizations from diverse sectors participated in the survey. Confirmatory Factor Analysis using AMOS 21 was used to test the convergent and discriminant validity of the constructs. Process Macro in SPSS 25 was used to test the hypothesized relationships.
The findings suggest that thriving at work mediates the relationship between workplace spirituality and psychological well-being. Organizational justice moderates the relationship between workplace spirituality and thriving at work such that the effect of workplace spirituality on thriving at work is more pronounced when justice perceptions are low.
This study suggests that organizations need to create a spiritual environment in the workplace in order to enhance the psychological well-being of employees. This is more important when employees’ justice perception is low.
This study expands our current understanding of the role of workplace spirituality in fostering employees’ psychological well-being indirectly through their thriving at work. Furthermore, this study enhances our understanding of the role of employees’ justice perceptions in fostering employees’ psychological well-being, which has not been fully investigated in the present study context.
