Workplace Spirituality and Turnover Intentions: Mediating Role of Job Satisfaction

Abstract

The voluntary staff turnover problem is a significant challenge for the IT industry. This study examines how workplace spirituality affects IT workers' job happiness and quitting intentions. Data was gathered from 302 IT organisation employees using the "Temporal separation" method, which addresses common method variance bias, to assure accurate results. To analyse and evaluate the hypotheses, the researchers used Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). According to the research’s conclusions, job happiness fully mediates the association between workplace spirituality and employees' intention to leave. Industry practitioners should prioritize fostering workplace spirituality by promoting positive interpersonal relationships and meaningful job designs, as well as establishing an organizational culture centered on the organization's vision and mission. This study offers potential solutions to IT industry practitioners who struggle with managing attrition.
