Abstract:

This study explores the relationship between workplace spirituality and organizational citizenship behaviors. Teachers from selected private colleges in Cavite were surveyed using an adapted questionnaire survey. All aspects of workplace spirituality (compassion, mindfulness, meaningful work, and transcendence) are significantly related to organizational citizenship behaviors (altruism, courtesy, sportsmanship, conscientiousness, and civic virtue). The result of the study implies that younger and older employees, independent of sex, length of service, and religion, have different workplace and instructional perspectives. Also, private college employees differ in helping colleagues, keeping working hours, resolving issues, having a positive attitude, and is committed to teaching regardless of age, sex, duration of service, or religion. Moreover, workplace spirituality has been shown to motivate individuals to go above and beyond their job duties. OCB increases with employees’ impressions of workplace spirituality. The results from multiple regression analysis revealed that all aspects of workplace spirituality positively and significantly related to organizational citizenship behavior towards the organization.
