Workplace spirituality has now become an integral part of behavioral practices. Over the last decade, researchers have been taking interest in understanding workplace spirituality in organizations. The frequent discussion about spirituality at the workplace has also fortified the perception of ethical behavior among individuals. Ethical behavior among employees has been widely advanced by the spiritual values, which affect the work environments and organizational culture at large. This study reflects upon the relationship and interconnectedness between spirituality and ethical behavior in organizations. It also aims at suggesting ways as to how spirituality can be a driving factor for ethical behavior among individuals in organizations. Extensive literature review on the study has been conducted to gain insights on workplace spirituality and ethics. The study inferred that integrating various factors like leadership, culture, organizational citizenship behavior in the work environment might augment spirituality and ethical behavior at workplace.

Workplace spirituality has now become an integral part of behavioral practices. Over the last decade, researchers have been taking interest in understanding workplace spirituality in organizations. The frequent discussion about spirituality at the workplace has also fortified the perception of ethical behavior among individuals. Ethical behavior among employees has been widely advanced by the spiritual values, which affect the work environments and organizational culture at large. This study reflects upon the relationship and interconnectedness between spirituality and ethical behavior in organizations. It also aims at suggesting ways as to how spirituality can be a driving factor for ethical behavior among individuals in organizations. Extensive literature review on the study has been conducted to gain insights on workplace spirituality and ethics. The study inferred that integrating various factors like leadership, culture, organizational citizenship behavior in the work environment might augment spirituality and ethical behavior at workplace.
