Introduction pirituality and ethics are the core values shaping human life from ancient times (1). The term spirituality has different meanings and can be usually considered identical with the word religion. However, it is important to distinguish between religion and spirituality since they are not of the same nature and are two different concepts while being relevant (2). Spirituality is defined as a personal quest to search for the deeper meaning of life in relation to God and universe. There are common concepts associated with this structure, such as communication with the inner self, search for common values beyond personal effort, a deep empathy with all aspects of life, and a desire to be linked with the sources of life (3). Given the positive effects of spirituality on the improvement of main psychological structures, such as life satisfaction (4,5) mental health (6,7), and happiness (8), as well as the negative effects of perceived everyday stress (9), this concept has been taken into consideration in the workplace and developed greatly. A growing number of employees are seeking meaning in work as they are looking for meaning in their personal life given the fact that although life without work is pointless, soulless work also ruins life (10). In addition to employees, large organizations support workplace spirituality due to its higher impact on their success, compared to other factors (11). In this regard, the employment of spirituality facilitates the organizations to create a human environment based on human values in which employees can flourish all S

The present study is motivated by the belief that employee loyalty is an important factor that helps companies to survive in an increasingly fierce business competition. To generate employees' loyalty, good workplace spirituality and job satisfaction are very much required. The aim of this study is to analyze the loyalty of Generation Y employees as the effect of job satisfaction and work spirituality at private universities in Garut Regency, Indonesia. To this end, the study utilized a descriptive and verification approach in which the data were collected from 132 respondents using the interviews, questionnaires and surveys. The respondents were chosen by using saturated or census sampling techniques. Then, the collected data were analyzed by using path analysis with SPSS 24.0 software. The results showed that of all the analyzed research variables, the criteria were quite high. Work spirituality and job satisfaction showed a significant effect on employee loyalty. The findings also indicated that the employees who feel the spiritual values at the workplace tend to stay in the organization. In addition, a fair and decent remuneration system makes the Generation Y employees feel satisfied.

“…The result of this study is partially supported by the result that alignment with organizational values is significantly correlated with job satisfaction, a component of quality of work life. [ 37 ] We can infer that by returning to work, nurse cancer survivors restore interpersonal relationships that had been severed due to cancer diagnosis and treatment and return to their normal daily lives, and work becomes something beyond a source of income, which boosts their perceived satisfaction in the workplace and thus impacts their quality of work life. [ 18 ]…”

Objective: Return to work is known to have a positive effect on the quality of work life of cancer survivors, including the nurse cancer survivors, along with other factors, such as workplace spirituality. The aim of this study was to identify the effect of workplace spirituality and its constituent concepts on the quality of work life of nurse cancer survivors. Methods: A cross-sectional survey comprising the nursing workplace spirituality (NWS) and quality of nursing work life (QNWL) scales was completed by 130 cancer survivor nurses between October 15, 2018, and May 15, 2019, in two general hospitals in metropolitan areas, and snowball sampling was used in parallel. The data were analyzed using SPSS 22 software, determining descriptive statistics, and conducting an independent t -test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: The average scores for all NWS and QNWL subdomains were medium. Age, nursing tenure, and the factors of NWS were positively correlated with QNWL, especially the harmony between the workplace and the individual ( r = 0.65, P < 0. 001). In the second hierarchical regression, controlling general characteristics, harmony between the workplace and the individual (β = 0.38, P ≤ 0.001), and relationship with colleagues (β = 0.19, P = 0.031) were significant predictors of QNWL explaining 59.0% of the variance. This model was found to be suitable ( F = 16.29, P ≤ 0.001). Conclusions: Effective and practical organizational systems and intervention programs based on organizational support, including colleagues' support for increasing the quality of work life for nurse cancer survivors, are required.
