Abstract

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between workplace spirituality (WS) and teachers’ professional well-being (TPW), and additionally to scrutinize the mediating role of the construct of positive psychological capital (PPC) between the two constructs. Design/methodology/approach - Data were gathered from 345 teaching professionals employed in Indian higher educational institutions. The associations were verified through covariance-based structural equation modeling, mediation analysis performed and further verified through Preacher and Haye’s (2008) method. Findings - Results indicated an epochal positive relationship between WS and TPW. Further, PPC partially mediated the relationship between the two constructs. Practical implications - The inner source of spirituality among teachers can be tapped to cope with occupational stress levels, thereby augmenting the sense of professional well-being. Psychologically clear and receptive minds are indispensable in the process of teaching. Originality/value - There is a paucity of research linking the relationship between WS, TPW and PPC, specifically in the higher education sector.
