Abstract

Faculty and staff of two universities in the mid-southern USA were ­surveyed for their opinions on their commitment to their universities, their faith paths, how their faith affects their work, and about their demographic characteristics. One university is publicly supported and secular in nature; the other is private and faith-based. There are three research questions: (1) Do the spirit at work and organizational commitment scores differ between faith and non-faith-based universities? (2) How do these vary by university? (3) To what extent does the level of spirituality at work explain organizational commitment when demographic characteristics and university are taken into account? Sizable majorities of the faculty and staff of both universities are committed to them, but the faith-based university faculty and staff are more committed to their university than are those at the secular school. Staff in both universities have a stronger relationship between higher levels of spirit at work and organizational commitment than faculty at either university.
