Abstract

Employees are deemed a rare and inimitable organisational resource, thus making an unconventional source of competitive advantage. However, in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment, there is a constant risk of eroding employee well-being. The current study investigates the impact of workplace spirituality on employee well-being and explores whether this relationship is mediated by work–family conflict and work–family enrichment. The finding of our research confirm that workplace spirituality significantly improves employee well-being. Furthermore, both W–F enrichment and W–F conflict significantly mediate the link between workplace spirituality and employee well-being. Reflecting the evolving expectations of the modern workforce, organisations must adopt policies that promote employee well-being while maintaining a healthy balance between their work and family lives.
