Abstract:
Workplace spirituality is a novel concept and it has been identified as a unique way to improve organizational
performance. On the other hand, many organizations are experiencing undesirable consequences of lack of
workplace spirituality, such as employee stress, turnover, absenteeism, and lack of employee creativity. Hence,
organizations are now focusing on developing workplace spirituality in the workplaces as it offers many
advantages to organizations. Despite the growing interest on workplace spirituality, there is still a dearth of
research on the topic of workplace spirituality. Literature suggests that employee innovative work behavior
directly leads to enhance organizational performance and workplace spirituality leads to increase innovativeness
and creativity of employees. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to fill the gap in literature, to a certain extent by
proposing a conceptual model to examine the effect of workplace spirituality on employee innovative work
behavior. Thus, it proposed that there is a positive effect of workplace spirituality on employee innovative work
behavior. Consequently, intrinsic motivation from componential theory of creativity was integrated to identify
the mediating effect of intrinsic motivation on the effect of workplace spirituality on innovative work behavior.
