Abstract:
Workplace spirituality intends to connect human experiences and cultivate abilities and opportunities among employees for a better environment. This paper determines whether workplace spirituality is significantly associated with organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Organizational commitment and job satisfaction were treated as the dependent variables of workplace spirituality while profile variables were treated as grouping variables in determining whether there is a statistically significant difference on the workplace spirituality, level of organizational commitment and job satisfaction of the non-commissioned police officers in Pampanga. Using cross-sectional survey and purposive sampling, 220 police officers participated in the study through online survey using adopted research instruments. Results show that majority of the respondents age 31-35 years, are males, Catholics, holding the rank of a police officer I, and have spent 6-10 years in service. For workplace spirituality, the respondents generally have high levels of compassion, mindfulness, meaningful work, and transcendence. The respondents have high level of workplace spirituality and high effective commitment level, high continuance commitment level, and high normative commitment level. The respondents are highly committed in their organization and are satisfied with their nature of work, communication, coworkers, pay, supervision, and promotion. They are ambivalent in terms of fringe benefits and contingent rewards. However, the respondents are dissatisfied with the operation conditions in the organization. There are statistically significant differences on the workplace spirituality, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction of the respondents when grouped according to their profile. There are statistically significant relationships between workplace spirituality and organizational commitment, as well as between workplace spirituality and job satisfaction. Since the respondents were found to have moderate level of meaningful work, officials of the Philippine National Police may want to further develop their personnel's intrinsic motivation so that they may feel that work has meaning for them beyond the material rewards.
