Exploring the Effect of Workplace Spirituality on Job Embeddedness

Workplace Spirituality is becoming more openly recognized as an integral part of work. People view workplace not only as a means of earning money, but as a place where they can survive as well as be fully alive. For an organization to sustain, it requires people who can express their whole self and also build the relationship with their co-workers. This very feeling makes the individual more comfortable in the work setting, thereby increasing the chances of remaining in the job. All the factors that lead to the retention of employees are collectively known as job embeddedness (JE). The study tries to understand the relationship between WPS and JE among higher secondary school teachers. The results of the study indicate a positive relationship between the two constructs. This suggests that as WPS increases, individuals feel more attached toward their work and workplace, thereby making them remain in the organization.
