Abstract
Purpose
Synthesizing theories of innovative work behavior, workplace spirituality and person-organization (P-O) fit, this paper aims to build and test a theoretical model linking workplace spirituality, perceived organizational support (POS) and innovative work behavior via P-O fit. This study examined the mediating effect of P-O fit on the relationship of workplace spirituality and POS with innovative work behavior (IWB).
Design/methodology/approach
A sample of 434 employees and 59 supervisors from five leading hotels of China was used for this study.
Findings
This study found that workplace spirituality and POS both positively affected P-O fit. Workplace spirituality, P-O fit and POS positively influenced innovative work behavior. P-O fit acted as a partial mediator between workplace spirituality and IWB and between POS and IWB.
Originality/value
This study has tested the effect of workplace spirituality as an antecedent of innovative work behavior for the first time.
