Nexus Among Workplace Spirituality and Job Performance: PLS-SEM Approach

Aim: The purpose of this study is to look into the relationship between spirituality at work and performance and satisfaction with work. Workplace spirituality (WPS) is the main focus, which includes traits like compassion, meaningful work and alignment with organisation values. Objective: The study seeks to explore how WPS directly impacts job satisfaction (JS) and job performance (JP). It also examines the mediating role of JS in this relationship and ensures accuracy through structural equation modelling (SEM). Method: Quantitative data were collected using structured surveys from 1,039 employees in the education sector. The survey included validated scales measuring WPS, JS and JP. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, reliability tests and SEM, were conducted using SmartPLS 4. Gender and qualification were used as control variables. Findings: JS significantly boosts JP (path coefficient = 0.754). WPS directly affects JP (path coefficient = 0.073) and has a strong impact on JS (path coefficient = 0.670). WPS indirectly enhances JP through JS (indirect effect = 0.505).
