The Effect of Social Workers' Workplace Spirituality on Organizational Commitment: The Mediating Effect of Resilience

This study aimed to explore the mediating effect of resilience on the relationship between workplace spirituality and organizational commitment among social workers. Participants included social workers employed in welfare facilities in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions. Data were collected via a survey, with 217 out of 225 responses included in the final analysis. SPSS 21.0 and PROCESS Macro model 4 were used for data analysis. The study yielded the following results: First, a high level of workplace spirituality was positively correlated with strong organizational commitment. Second, workplace spirituality was significantly associated with resilience. Third, greater resilience was linked to stronger organizational commitment. Additionally, resilience was found to partially mediate the relationship between workplace spirituality and organizational commitment. Based on these findings, the study offers insights for enhancing resilience and organizational commitment through workplace spirituality among social workers and suggests directions for future research.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the mediating effect of resilience on the relationship between workplace spirituality and organizational commitment among social workers. Participants included social workers employed in welfare facilities in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions. Data were collected via a survey, with 217 out of 225 responses included in the final analysis. SPSS 21.0 and PROCESS Macro model 4 were used for data analysis. The study yielded the following results: First, a high level of workplace spirituality was positively correlated with strong organizational commitment. Second, workplace spirituality was significantly associated with resilience. Third, greater resilience was linked to stronger organizational commitment. Additionally, resilience was found to partially mediate the relationship between workplace spirituality and organizational commitment. Based on these findings, the study offers insights for enhancing resilience and organizational commitment through workplace spirituality among social workers and suggests directions for future research.
