Abstract
Workplace spirituality has gained attention of researchers in
last two decades. Material investment is no more considered to
be an enough ingredient towards getting desired outcomes from
the employees. Work Values is also taken into consideration by
the culture, anthropology, sociology and organizational
behavior research arenas. The present work is collaborating the
two constructs in a moderation relationship to check their
interactive effect on the job satisfaction of employees. More
specifically, this paper will contribute by incorporating the
Intrinsic and Extrinsic Values as a moderator in relationship of
workplace spirituality and job Satisfaction. The data for this
purpose was obtained through self-administered questionnaires
in a survey form public and private banks of Pakistan. Total 450
questionnaires were distributed resulting in 49.78% response
rate and 224 questionnaires are checked for hypothesized
relationships. The results of the study revealed that Workplace
Spirituality is a strong predictor of Job Satisfaction. Intrinsic
values have also found to moderate the relationship between
workplace spirituality and Job satisfaction in such a way that
this relation becomes stronger in presence of high intrinsic
values employees. Extrinsic values have also moderated the
Workplace Spirituality and Job Satisfaction relationship but its
impact was negative. Lastly implications for managers are
discussed and future research directions are given
