Abstract

This study examines workplace spirituality as a mediator between organizational trust and thriving at work. Using a survey research design, data was collected from 157 employees across three hotel companies operating in the tourism and hospitality management sector in Turkey and was then analysed with structural equation modelling. The results suggest that workplace spirituality plays a significant mediating role in the relationship between organizational trust and thriving at work. We discuss how workplace spirituality can support an environment where employees trust their organization and can thrive at work. Practitioners can support a spiritual workplace by developing a set of foundational attributes that convey a purpose-driven and meaning-based culture where both openness and trust are supported. The findings contribute to the workplace spirituality literature and have several important implications. Limitations and future research directions are outlined.
