520 |a Research on spirituality at the workplace has gained enormous attention recently as it is found that spirituality is associated with positive work attitude including organizational commitment. However, the relationship between spirituality and organizational commitment has not been widely researched, especially using non~ Western sample and using a measure that is specially developed for Muslims in a Muslim context. Thus, this study is conducted to answer a number of research questions pertaining to the relationship between workplace spirituality and individual spirituality with organizational commitment and whether there is interaction between workplace spirituality and individual spirituality on the development of organizational commitment. Three hypotheses were tested. First, there will be positive relationship between workplace spirituality and organizational commitment. Second, there will be positive relationship between individual spirituality and organizational commitment. Third, there will be interaction effect between workplace spirituality and individual spirituality on organizational commitment Data were collected at the Centre for Foundation Studies, International Islamic University Malaysia involving 150 administrators. The Spirituality at Work Scale by Aslunos and Duchon (2000) was used to measure workplace spirituality and the Affective, Continuance and Normative Commitment Scale (ACNCS) by Allen and Meyer (1990) was used to measure organizational commitment. Muslim Religiosity~ Personality Inventory (MRPI) was used for the study to measure individual spirituality. Using correlation analysis and hierarchical multiple regression analysis the study found positive and significant relationship between workplace spirituality and organizational commitment; there is also significant relationship between individual spirituality and organizational commitment, although the correlation is quite low. The study also provides support for the interaction effect between workplace spirituality and individual spirituality on organizational commitment. The findings of this study is useful for Human Resource managers to understand the significant role of workplace and individual spirituality in the development of organizational commitment and to design appropriate programmes or interventions that will optimize the commitment of the employees.
