Description
Summary:Organizations continue to be challenged and enriched by the workplace spirituality phenomenon. The field has made significant strides, making it a burgeoning research area, but it lacks conceptual clarity due to multiple conceptualizations and constructs. This study aims to integrate the study in the field to provide a holistic understanding of the concept through a systematic review of the extant literature, from 2000 to December 2022. The study synthesizes literature with full-text review of 92 papers in the field extracted from Scopus database using bibliometric and TCCM analysis. While the bibliometric study identified the latest trends, TCCM provided new avenues for future research in form of research questions. The study revealed that the field suffers from conceptual confusion because spirituality as a phenomenon is idiosyncratic. Further, research highlights the need for more qualitative in-depth, multi-theory, longitudinal, multicontext, and cross-cultural studies to enhance methodological rigor. The review further highlights the development to formulate a solid theoretical foundation and help managers devise strategies to promote spiritual values in the workplace and foster spiritual experience among employees. To best of the author's knowledge, this study is the first comprehensive literature review using a hybrid approach.
