Workplace spirituality, workaholism, and gender: A quantitative study of higher education employees at a small, private college in the northeastern United States.

摘要

This study tested the relationship between workplace spirituality and workaholism with a mediating role of gender. A stratified random sample of faculty, staff, and administrators at a small, private college in the northeastern United States yielded 109 participants utilizing a survey. Within the survey, the Spirit at Work Scale (SAWS) was used to measure workplace spirituality and the Workaholism Analysis Questionnaire (WAQ) was used to measure workaholism. The results of this study did not reveal a statistically significant relationship between workplace spirituality and workaholism, nor a mediating role of gender. This study is the first to test empirically the relationship between workplace spirituality and workaholism.
