Description
Summary:This paper investigates the influence of workplace spirituality on the effects of dispositional factors, specifically exploring the connection between dysfunctional thought processes on subjective well-being and job satisfaction. Multigroup comparison analysis is used to compare a secular work sample and a sample from an overtly spiritual workplace. The findings suggest that workplace spirituality attenuates the negative effect that dispositional qualities have on job satisfaction. This research has theoretical and practical implications suggesting that the dispositional model of job satisfaction has a boundary condition such that workplace spirituality may be a contextual influence which can be fostered by organizational leadership to disrupt dysfunctional thought processes, thus improving key individual and organizational outcomes.
