Abstract

This study explored the role of workplace spirituality on organizational citizenship behaviors.  The authors purposed that all three aspects of workplace spirituality (sense of community, meaningful work, and inner life) will positively associate with organizational citizenship behaviors towards individual and organization.  Participants for this study are undergraduate and graduate students from two public universities in south Texas (n=179).  The data was collected using self-administered questionnaire survey.  The results from partial least square regression analysis revealed that all three aspects of workplace spirituality positively and significantly associate with organizational citizenship behavior towards individual and organizational citizenship behavior towards organization.
