More than hundred research papers on workplace spirituality were downloaded from Google Scholor, Scopus, NIH, and other online journals, were reviewed. The comparative appraisal revealed that those organisations which adapted to workplace spirituality functioning obtained high productivity, low turnover rates, edge over competitors, etc as compared to others which lacked in spiritual development of employees.
