While numerous studies have demonstrated the positive impact of workplace spirituality on employee performance, few have delved into its correlation with workplace happiness (WPH). The present research seeks to investigate the direct and indirect effects of workplace spirituality on workplace engagement and employee well-being, with WPH serving as a mediator. The groundwork for the proposed conceptual model was laid by conducting a survey with 473 working professionals from Indian organizations, employing the structural equation modeling (SEM) method. Results reveal that employees with a strong sense of workplace spirituality tend to have greater attachment to the workplace. WPH, in turn, acts as a mediator in the relationship between workplace attachment (WPA) and employee well-being. This study sheds light on the significant relationship between workplace spirituality, WPA, and employee well-being. It underscores the importance for organizations to prioritize WPH of employees which in turn, would enhance their well-being within the workplace.

To address these challenges, firms strive to enhance their visibility across various supply chain levels by equipping themselves with the ability to scrutinize operational activities and effectively manage supply chain risks. This study employed a quantitative approach by administering a survey questionnaire to 158 manufacturing companies in Malaysia. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was utilized to examine the anticipated relationships. By drawing on organizational information processing theory principles, this study investigates the influence of supply chain operational reference (SCOR)—based data analytics capability (SCOR-DAC) in bolstering firm performance by developing a more secure, risk-averse enterprise, and improved strategic alignment. Additionally, this study investigates the mediating role of supply chain and risk management performance in the relationship between SCOR-driven data analytics and organizational performance and the interaction between business strategy alignment and SCOR-DAC. The study accentuates the notion that the capacity to manage disruptions, attained through improved risk management performance, positively impacts a firm's performance. Furthermore, the research underscores the importance of the synergy between data analytics and organizational strategies in constructing a holistic approach to risk management and performance enhancement. The findings offer valuable insights for companies aiming to enhance risk management and improve overall performance by increasing investments in data analytics and fostering a data-driven culture for consistent business growth.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":35064,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Organizational Excellence","volume":"44 3","pages":"50-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143118559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing upon social cognitive theory, we hypothesize that excessive JDs undermine self-regulatory mechanisms, resulting in MD and affecting counterproductive work behavior (CWB) and extra-role behaviors (ERBs). Additionally, we employ the conservation of resources theory to examine how family–work enrichment (FWE) can encourage ERB, potentially mitigating negative outcomes. To test our hypotheses, a two-wave time-lagged survey was conducted among hospital staff members during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings support our theoretical model, demonstrating that high JDs deactivate self-regulatory systems, leading to MD and varied behavioral outcomes. However, FWE fosters ERB even among morally disengaged employees. This study advances the literature by elucidating the mechanisms of MD and highlighting the role of family support in promoting positive behaviors during crises.
