Abstract
Since the 1990’s, the concept of workplace spirituality has grown in popularity.Contrary to the public notion of spirituality, workplace spirituality does not have much to dowith organized religion but more with the connectedness one has with other people at work.During the COVID-19 pandemic this sense of connectedness has waned, leaving employees witha lower attachment to their organizations. Workplace spirituality has been correlated withemployee job satisfaction, which impacts productivity, customer satisfaction, turnover, andultimately the firm’s bottom line. Job satisfaction also has an impact on one’s overall lifesatisfaction. Results of this study suggest that employee age may moderate the relationshipbetween workplace spirituality and employee job satisfaction. Specifically, Millennials may bemore likely than older generations to be satisfied with pay and promotion opportunities inorganizations where workplace spirituality is perceived to be high.
