Exploring workplace spirituality, mindfulness, digital technology, and psychological well-being: A complex interplay in organizational contexts.

Abstract

This study explores the intricate relationships between workplace spirituality, mindfulness, psychological well-being, and digital technology use among employees in India. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 287 full-time employees from various industries. Grounded in Technostress Theory, Broaden-and-Build Theory, and the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) framework, the study tested several hypotheses to investigate how these factors interact in the contemporary digital work environment. The findings reveal a significant positive correlation between workplace spirituality and psychological well-being and mindfulness and psychological well-being. Additionally, mindfulness mediated the relationship between workplace spirituality and psychological well-being. Significantly, digital technology use moderated the relationship between workplace spirituality, mindfulness, and psychological well-being, suggesting that higher technology use may reduce the positive impact of spirituality and mindfulness on well-being. The novelty of this study lies in its contribution to understanding how digital technology influences the relationship between spirituality, mindfulness, and employee well-being, offering practical implications for organizations aiming to enhance employee well-being through tailored interventions and mindful technology management.
