Abstract

The purpose of this article is to explore the emerging construct of workplace spirituality and its application in hospitality organizational transformation. After a review of the literature, a causal model for workplace spirituality in organizational transformation is proposed. The goal of the research was to investigate linkages between dimensions of workplace spirituality, organizational transformation (defined as transformational leadership, organizational climate, and organizational learning capability), and work attitudes. The topic of workplace spirituality remains largely uncharted in the hospitality literature, offering researchers opportunities for new discoveries and hospitality organizations opportunities to improve their effectiveness.
