The impact of a spiritual environment on performance mediated by job resourcefulness

摘要

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to explore and present the process of management as viewed through the lens of spirituality at work, and to identify the influence of a spiritual environment on individual performance, mediated by job resourcefulness and moderate by affective commitment. Structural equation modeling was used. Design/methodology/approach - The sample size consisted of 273 individuals from Portugal. The methodological design is quantitative. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to assess construct validity based on AMOS 21. Findings - The results show that with the implementation of a spirituality culture, this fact increases the presence of spirituality at work and the individual performance, mediated by job resourcefulness. Research limitations/implications - There are methodological limitations, because the work is based on "perceptions." Another limitation is about spirituality at work conceptualization, considering it is still subject to different perspectives and definitions. Originality/value - The findings can provide fundamental guidance for managers and academics to implement a set of practices that promote the presence of spirituality at work as a new management tool to run a company.
