Abstract
This study reveals the worth of spirituality at workplace by
considering its factors (inner life, meaningful work and sense of community) in the context of IWE for investigating employees’ performance.
The data was collected from 347 serving middle line managers of Islamic
banks across major cities of Pakistan. SPSS 21 was used to analyze the
data through correlation, multiple regression and moderated regression
analysis with appropriate data normality and independence. The results
revealed that two determinants of spirituality at workplace (meaningful
work and sense of community) create significant positive impact on
employees’ performance. On the contrary, the third determinant (inner
life) exhibits insignificant effect on employees’ performance. It is also
established that IWE do not moderate the relationship between inner
life and employees’ performance; however, a moderation effect of IWE
is found in the relationship between meaningful work and employees’
performance as well as sense of community and employees’ performance.
Thus, implications for Islamic banks have been discussed in particular and
other organizations in general to uphold spirituality at workplace and IWE
for sustaining performance standards across all quarters.
