Abstract

Academicians, business professionals, and researchers are increasingly recognizing and appreciating the relevance of spirituality in the workplace. In the current high-risk and unpredictable climate, it is considered an important aspect to manifest in modern workplaces. Many researchers have investigated the impact of spirituality in the workplace on various job outcomes, but the mechanism through which spirituality affects the job outcomes of employees is still lacking in the literature. This study is a rigorous empirical attempt in this direction. The major goal of the study was to look at the function of workplace stress as a mediator between workplace spirituality and job satisfaction. A cross-sectional survey was done with 450 faculty members working in India’s higher education institutions. Structural equation modeling through partial least square (PLS-SEM) in the 3.3.2 version of SmartPLS has been applied to reveal the hypothesized relationship. The results of this article will help higher education institutions better understand the spiritual side of their faculty members and develop timely, suitable policies to increase their job satisfaction.

印度高等教育教师的工作精神与工作满意度：以职业压力为中介的考察

学者、商业专业人士和研究人员越来越认识到并欣赏精神在工作场所的相关性。在当前高风险和不可预测的气候下，这被认为是在现代工作场所表现出来的一个重要方面。许多研究人员已经调查了工作场所的精神对各种工作结果的影响，但精神影响员工工作结果的机制在文献中仍然缺乏。这项研究是朝着这个方向进行的一次严格的实证尝试。这项研究的主要目标是观察工作压力在工作精神和工作满意度之间的中介作用。对印度高等教育机构的450名教职员工进行了一项横断面调查。在3.3.2版本的SmartPLS中，通过偏最小二乘法（PLS-SEM）进行结构方程建模，以揭示假设的关系。本文的研究结果将有助于高等教育机构更好地了解教师的精神一面，并制定及时、合适的政策来提高他们的工作满意度。

It also publishes critical review of newly released books under Book Review section. The aim is to popularize and encourage discussion on ideas expressed in newly released books connected to management and allied disciplines. BPR also periodically publishes management cases grounded in theory, and communications in the form of research notes or comments from researchers and practitioners on published papers for critiquing and/or extending thinking on the area under consideration. The overarching aim of Business Perspectives and Research is to encourage original/innovative thinking through a scientific approach.
