The impact of workplace spirituality, workplace climate, and compensation on perceived job performance at eastern international general hospital

Abstract

Workplace spirituality, workplace climate, and compensation have been widely debated in organizational management field by many famous scholars, such as Ashmos and Duchon (2000), Griffith (2006), and Ghazanfar et al. (2011). However, if these researchers provided some exploration on these phenomena’s effects in the Western context, there is no empirical evidence evaluating the impacts of the above-mentioned determinants on employees’ performance, especially in the Vietnamese context. My thesis addresses the issues of spirituality, climate, and compensation at work with special attention to their relationships with perceived job performance. Specifically, in my research, I will be identifying the dimensions of workplace spirituality in order to examine their effects, corresponding with workplace climate and compensation, on self-rated performance. The findings suggest that there are strong, positive, and significant relationships between workplace spirituality (engaging work, sense of community), workplace climate, compensation and perceived job performance. Accordingly, some applicable recommendations in the form of action plans to enhance personnel’s productivity and organizational effectiveness are suggested. In sum, this research could by all means shed new light on the neglected acknowledged phenomena of spirituality, climate and compensation at work as well as make way for various applications in the working environment.
