Abstract

In this study, we examine how staff engagement and satisfaction mediates the path between workplace spirituality (WPS) and job performance (JP) using Kumasi Technical University staff as a case study. A structured questionnaire was administered to 186 teaching and non-teaching staff of the university. Sobel mediation analysis was used to explore the relationships under study. The study revealed a positive relationship between WPS and JP. The study again showed that staff engagement significantly mediates the relationship between WPS and JP. Lastly, satisfaction was also found to significantly influence the relationship between WPS and JP. The study recommends that organizations should provide employees with an environment, which harnesses their inner life and develops a sense of belonging and purpose as they perform work-related activities. It is also recommended that management should provide training and development program to encourage staff in undertaking team building activity to enhance cohesion and increase their productivity.
员工参与度和满意度在工作场所精神信仰与工作绩效之间关系中的作用:来自加纳高等院校的证据
本研究以库马西技术大学(Kumasi Technical University)的教职员工为案例,探讨了教职员工的参与度和满意度如何调节工作场所精神(WPS)与工作绩效(JP)之间的关系。我们对该大学的 186 名教学和非教学人员进行了结构化问卷调查。研究采用了索贝尔中介分析法来探讨两者之间的关系。研究表明,WPS 与 JP 之间存在正相关关系。研究再次表明,教职员工的参与在很大程度上调节了 WPS 与 JP 之间的关系。最后,研究还发现满意度对 WPS 和 JP 之间的关系有显著影响。研究建议,组织应为员工提供一种环境,在他们从事与工作相关的活动时,利用他们的内心生活,培养他们的归属感和目标感。研究还建议管理层提供培训和发展计划,鼓励员工开展团队建设活动,以增强凝聚力和提高生产力。
