Description
Summary:The purpose of this study is to examine and gain better understanding of the relationship between workplace spirituality and counterproductive work behaviour (CWB) among supporting employees (technical and administration) of one of the Malaysian Public Universities located in Northern Malaysia. This study focused on six dimensions of workplace spirituality namely Conditions for Community, Meaning at Work, Work Unit Community, Positive Work Unit Values, Organizational Values, and Individual and Organization. A total of 258 respondents were involved in this study. Data were gathered through questionnaires and analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 17. Correlation and regression analysis were used to examine the relationship between the variables. The results indicated that the level of counterproductive work behaviour of the studied population is low and only one dimensions of workplace spirituality is significantly related to counterproductive work behaviour which is meaning at workplace. The multiple regression results indicated that two dimensions of workplace spirituality (meaning at work and work unit community) makes unique contributions to the prediction of CWB. The findings were discussed and recommendations for further research were also addressed.
