Workplace Spirituality and Leadership Job Satisfaction and Organizational Behavior Religion, Spirituality, and Psychology

Abstract

Sanctification involves perceiving objects or events: (a) theistically by viewing them as having spiritual significance, or (b) nontheistically by viewing them as extraordinary and worthy of veneration and respect without any reference to a higher being. Previous research has found positive outcomes associated with sanctification, including increased satisfaction with marriage (CitationMahoney et al., 1999), body image (CitationMahoney, Carels, et al., 2005) and sexual intercourse (CitationMurray-Swank, Pargament, & Mahoney, 2002) to name a few. This study extends these findings into the world of work by demonstrating that those who sanctify their jobs are more satisfied, more committed to their organization, and at the same time less likely to intend to leave.
