| Abstract: | The present study incorporates the emerging concept of workplace spirituality into the domains of job stress and happiness at work. These constructs have received limited attention in the context of the educational sector. Therefore, the aim of this study was to fill this research gap by examining the associations between workplace spirituality, job stress, and happiness at work. Moreover, the study investigated whether job stress plays a mediating role in the relationship between workplace spirituality and happiness at work. A cross-sectional research design was employed, and data were gathered from a sample of 300 school teachers. Three scales were utilized to measure workplace spirituality, job stress, and happiness at work. The data analysis revealed a positive correlation between workplace spirituality and happiness at work. However, the mediation analysis indicated that job stress does not serve as a mediator in the relationship between workplace spirituality and happiness at work. Moreover, to reduce job stress, compassion plays a great role, which is one of the components of workplace spirituality. Based on these findings, it is recommended that educational institutions adopt workplace spirituality practices to foster a conducive work environment that promotes the well-being and happiness of teachers, thereby positively impacting the teaching process. |
