“…Second, this suggested that membership in an organization is either voluntary or defined, but social identity is a personal choice as results of their attitude towards their organization (Lewin, 1997in Goodman, 2002. Group members tend to identify themselves with their group (organization), when the group (organization) has a high profile, which contributes to high self-esteem (Cialdini, et al, 1976;Ellemers, et al, 1988in Goodman, 2002. In fact, local government institutions might not have contributed to improving selfesteem of the members.…”

This study is aimed at the examination of the relationship of workplace spirituality and organizational citizenship behavior with the roles of organizational identification and perceived organizational supports as moderating variables. This study uses affective events theory to explain that workplace sprituality produces positive affective and then encourages organizational citizenship behavior. Meanwhile, the roles of organizational identification and perceived organizational supports that relationship based on social identity theory and social exchange theory subsequently. This study conducts survey methods and purposive sampling methods in collecting primary data from respondents working in local government institusions, then the primary data is processed with moderated regression model. The result reveals that workplace spirituality positively affected organizational citizenship behavior. But, organizational identification and perceived organizational support are significant, but have not moderated the relationship of workplace spirituality and organizational citizenship behavior. This study suggests that the measurement of organizational identification also has to consist of pride or emotional attatchment to organizations. Meanwhile, the measurement of perceived organizational supports has to insert dimensions of procedural justice and supervisor support, not only dimensions of rewards and employee's well-being. In addition, dispositional factors could be more influential to be a moderating variable on that relationship. In conclusion, creating the climate of workplace spirituality and having employees' trust to their organization are more critical to increase organizational citizenship behavior, especially in local, public organizations.

“…Fry and Slocum (2008) argue that workplace spirituality can produce positive outcomes for employees (e.g., better health and psychological well-being) and the organization (e.g., employee commitment and greater productivity). Workplace spirituality is also found to have a positive influence on affective commitment among nurses and nurses' performance outcomes (Kazemipour, Mohamad Amin & Pourseidi 2012). Other studies demonstrating that workplace spirituality contributes to commitment and organizational performance include Milliman et al (1999);Benefiel (2003); Sanders, Hopkins and Geroy (2003); Garcia-Zamor (2003);and Rego et al (2007).…”

“…Workplace spirituality which involves employees' experience of finding ultimate meaning in work and sense of connectedness with organizational members (Gupta et al, 2013) began to be viewed as a new perspective towards understanding employee behavior including OCB and hence improve organizational performance. Among the limited studies that had examined the link between spirituality and OCB are those by (Nasurdin et al, 2013;Kazemipour et al, 2012) who found significant correlations between spirituality and OCB. Considering studies on the spirituality-OCB link is limited, this paper intends to propose a framework on the effect of workplace spirituality, as an individual resource, on OCB and the mediating role of work engagement using the work engagement model by Bakker and Demerouti (2008) and previous empirical literature.…”

Abstract:The focus of previous studies on predictors of organizational citizenship behavior has been on individual, organizational and task characteristics as well as leadership behaviors. Despite the greater focus of previous studies on individual characteristics, little is known about the potential effect of spirituality on organizational citizenship behavior. Using the work engagement model and results from previous empirical studies, a framework was developed to examine the effect of workplace spirituality on organizational citizenship behavior through work engagement as the mediator. It is expected that workplace spirituality will have positive effects on organizational citizenship behavior and work engagement and work engagement will positively affect organizational citizenship behavior. According to the framework, when employees experience workplace spirituality, their engagement in work roles will be enhanced and they will be more likely to engage in citizenship behavior. The significance of this paper is that it offers a framework as well as hypotheses that could be tested and the framework implies that organizations should establish climates that are spiritually-rich, recognizing the potential predictive ability of workplace spirituality on organizational citizenship behavior and work engagement.
