WORKPLACE SPIRITUALITY: SHAPING THE FUTURE OF THE MODERN ORGANISATIONS

Creating and maintaining a healthy organization has become a significant challenge for leaders in today’s volatile and competitive business landscape. A crucial component of a healthy organization is the mental well-being of employees. In particular, teaching is a highly stressful profession that exposes educators to the risk of burnout. To mitigate this, techniques that engage higher mental functions—such as transcendental meditation and prayer—have been incorporated into stress and burnout prevention programs. Spirituality in education plays a key role in enhancing the quality of teaching and learning, though it is influenced by various personal, social, religious, and cultural factors. This study explores the relationship between workplace spirituality, meditation, and teacher performance. It evaluates the impact of wellness and spirituality on teachers' work performance. Data were collected from 375 teachers in the Hubli-Dharwad region, revealing that spirituality has a positive influence on work performance. A workplace that supports both wellness and spirituality fosters a more conducive environment for effective work.
