Abstract

The article tries to explore the role of workplace spirituality in relationship between organizational culture and organizational effectiveness. Denison’s theory of organizational culture and effectiveness is used for articulation of the above relationship. Denison’s framework focuses on four cultural traits: involvement, consistency, adaptability and mission. These traits collectively facilitate an organization’s capabilities for integrating and coordinating internal resources as well as its adaptation of the external environment, thereby leading to organizational effectiveness. All these cultural traits and their relationship with spirituality and organizational effectiveness are discussed in the article. This article is an attempt to emphasize that organizational culture should give a place for spiritual expression.
