Spirituality in the workplace: Awareness of the human resources function

Abstract

This study explores whether a link exists between employees’ personal/spiritual values and the values of the company where the research was undertaken. It further determines whether employees view themselves as spiritual and whether they integrate their personal/spiritual values at work. At the time of the research, the population consisted of approximately 1388 employees. A representative sample size consisting of 139 employees responded to the questionnaire. Responses were analysed using the SPSS statistical analysis program. The main results indicated that a link exists between employees’ personal/spiritual values and the company values. Further, the results indicated that employees viewed themselves as spiritual and strive to integrate their spiritual values at work.
