Abstract

This research has contributed to the impact and association between workplace spirituality, employee’s engagement, and job satisfaction. The researcher contacted Chinese university faculty to collect data by means of self-administered survey approach using the 5-point Likert scale. Analyzing the collected data, different tests have been used like correlation, regression, Independent sample T-test. Reliability analysis shows that the scale of all constructs is reliable having Cronbach alpha >0.70. Correlation results show that when spirituality increases, engagement and job satisfaction also increase. Regression results indicate that workplace has a significant influence on employee engagement and their satisfaction with the job. Moreover, findings of independent sample t-test reveal that male and female are significantly different only with respect to the department and partially recognized with respect to the designation. This research looked into the phenomenon of spirituality at the job as an important aspect and pays aspect (cause and effect) to enhance the employee’s engagement and satisfaction at the workplace.
