| Summary: | Workplace spirituality has received increasing attention during the past few decades, especially their effect on work outcome. The purposes of the research were to: (1) extend the findings of Petchsawang and Duchon (2012 Petchsawang, P., and D. Duchon. 2012. "Workplace Spirituality, Meditation, and Work Performance." Journal of Management, Spirituality & Religion 9 (2): 189-208 in examining the relationships among mindfulness meditation, workplace spirituality, and work engagement in an eastern - specifically Thai - context; and (2) compare workplace spirituality and work engagement in organizations that provide mindfulness meditation courses to employees and those that do not. The sample came from four organizations that offered meditation courses (248 from 300) and four organizations that did not (315 from 400) in Thailand. The level of workplace spirituality and work engagement were found to be higher in organizations that offer meditation courses than in those that do not. Additionally, mindfulness meditation has a statistically significant relationship with workplace spirituality and work engagement, and workplace spirituality fully meditates the relationship between meditation and work engagement. |
