What the paper says

Purpose This study aims to explore the relationship between workplace spirituality, work–life balance and job satisfaction among healthcare professionals in public hospitals in Jammu and Kashmir, India. It examines how workplace spirituality influences work–life balance and job satisfaction, with a focus on the mediating role of work–life balance in this relationship. Design/methodology/approach Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 99 healthcare professionals, including doctors and nurses, through structured questionnaires assessing perceptions of workplace spirituality, work–life balance and job satisfaction. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyze the data and test the hypothesized relationships. Findings The findings indicate that workplace spirituality positively and significantly influences both work–life balance and job satisfaction among healthcare professionals. Furthermore, work–life balance mediates the relationship between workplace spirituality and job satisfaction, suggesting that spirituality within the workplace fosters a more harmonious work–life balance, which, in turn, enhances job satisfaction. Originality/value This study makes a unique contribution by examining the role of workplace spirituality in shaping healthcare professionals’ work–life balance and job satisfaction. Conducted in a culturally distinct region of India, this study highlights how workplace spirituality can act as a resource to support healthcare professionals, improving their professional experiences and overall well-being. This study aligns with United Nations sustainable development goal (SDG) Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and SDG Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), particularly addressing Target 3.c, which emphasizes strengthening the health workforce, and Target 8.8, which promotes safe and secure working environments.
