The impact of workplace spirituality on lecturers' attitudes in tourism and hospitality higher education institutions
【Abstract】
Workplace spirituality (WPS) is a substantial predictor of employees' work-related attitudes and behaviour.
This research examines the impact of WPS on tourism and hospitality lecturers' attitudes in HEIs.
Quantitative approach was followed, and PLS-SEM was used to analyse the collected data.
WPS positively impacts lecturers' engagement, commitment, workforce agility, trust and empowerment.
Despite the significance of workplace spirituality, a limited number of tourism studies have empirically examined its outcomes within tourism higher education institutions (HEIs). To address this gap, this study investigates the influence of workplace spirituality on lecturers' engagement, commitment, workforce agility, trust, and empowerment. A quantitative approach was adopted by gathering surveys from 218 tourism and hospitality lecturers in HEIs in Italy and Portugal. With the employment of PLS-SEM, the empirical findings reveal that workplace spirituality has a positive and significant impact on lecturers' engagement, commitment, workforce agility, trust, and empowerment. This research contributes to tourism knowledge about workplace spirituality within HEIs. It also provides empirical contributions related to management of lecturers' attitudes and behaviour in tourism HEIs.
