Spirituality, Workplace Spirituality, Person-Organization Fit, Job SecurityAbstract
Workplace spirituality is a concept that expresses spiritual needs and values of employees at work. On the other hand, person-organization fit refers to the harmony between the employee's individual values and the organizational culture and goals. In this study, the relationship between workplace spirituality and person-organization fit was examined. When creating the research model of this study, it is thought that employees' giving importance to moral values at work contributes to their greater commitment to the organization and their motivation for their work. Therefore, it is suggested that there can be a positive relationship between workplace spirituality, person-organization fit and job security. Hence, in this study we will discuss both of these concepts; workplace spirituality and person-organization fit and we will reveal the findings of our field study regarding our research model. Findings of the research showed that practices related to spiritual values in the workplace can increase person-organization fit and job securit.
