“…The role provides executives with components that make their work intrinsically meaningful (green blocks). Ashmos and Duchon (2000) , Pradhan and Jena (2016) . However, senior executives’ work sometimes becomes so dominantly meaningful that it can dictate their lives ( Quick et al, 2014 ), to the extent that it generates unavoidable anti-meaning (red blocks) (in the form of time constraints, high levels of work-related stress and pressure, loneliness, etc.)…”

IntroductionAlthough work is a significant source of meaning for most people, the role of senior executive generates different meaning and well-being complexities than those experienced or faced by general employees. This study explored how meaning and anti-meaning components affect senior executives’ experiences of meaning in life and well-being. The findings enabled devising a pathway to enhance senior executives’ net experiences of meaning in life and well-being.MethodsA cross-sectional, semi-structured interview study design was used to gather rich qualitative data. Eight participants from southern and eastern Africa, who had held the position of chief executive officer or managing director for at least five years, were interviewed.ResultsThe findings demonstrated that senior executives’ work roles provide a significant source of meaning. However, the roles are accompanied by unavoidable anti-meanings, which are likely to generate additional anti-meanings if not tempered sufficiently, thus reducing the net meaning experienced.DiscussionFrom the findings, a practical pathway was devised to assist top executives to deal with the bipolar relationship between meaning and anti-meaning. Consulting and counseling practitioners can utilize the pathway to guide, support, and counsel senior executives towards improved meaning, temper anti-meaning and improve well-being.

“…Organizations need to recognize that an engaged employee with meaningful assignment will naturally have a greater commitment during one’s career (Pradhan & Jena, 2016). A positive workplace encourages workers to be dedicated and innovative in order to achieve greater JS (Pradhan & Jena, 2016). Our study’s correlational results on the predicted employee job attitude (EE and organizational commitment) with WPS are in line with result of Gull and Doh (2004).…”

Workplace spirituality is a concept that is gaining traction in the business world. Finding opportunities for self-expression, practicing moral ideals at work, and experiencing sacredness in all aspects of life is what workplace spirituality entails. Nursing is a physically and emotionally taxing career when compared to other occupations, especially given the large amount of physical and emotional labour needed in patient care. The goal of this paper was to synthesise the relationship between workplace spirituality and one of three forms of employee job attitude. The study finding shows that there is a high relationship between spirituality in the workplace and employee job attitude. An integrated environment is necessary for any successful job. This study seems to be of value to researchers and practitioners. Spirituality in the workplace needs to be strengthened by an establishment's HR ethic, which in effect helps to build a positive work atmosphere for the future.

“…In the context of this article, workplace spirituality reflects employee experiences based on meaningful work, employee relationships, solidarity and excellence in the workplace (Salarzehi et al, 2019). Workplace spirituality is defined as the psychological state in which employees believe they have a meaningful work inner life and are placed in a social context (Pradhan & Jena, 2016). Spirituality is a dogmatic, non-exclusive, gender-neutral, nonpatriarchal approach that relates to the One Source of All Being.…”
