Exploring the Effectiveness of Workplace Spirituality and Mindfulness Interventions: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

In recent times, workplace spirituality and mindfulness interventions have gained popularity to enhance employee well-being,
engagement, and performance. However, there is a need for a more rigorous evaluation of the effectiveness of these interventions. This article presents a systematic review of existing literature on workplace spirituality and mindfulness
interventions, focusing on their impact on employee outcomes such as job satisfaction, wellbeing, and performance. The review involved a comprehensive search of various databases and included 50 relevant studies from the period of 2016 to 2022. The findings suggest that workplace spirituality and mindfulness interventions have a positive effect on employee outcomes, although the extent of this effect varies across studies. The review highlights the need for more robust study designs, larger sample sizes, and extended followup periods to determine these interventions' most effective delivery methods and dosage.Furthermore, the review identifies several gaps in the literature, such as the need for more research on the underlying mechanisms of change and the cultural and contextual factors that affect the effectiveness of these interventions. The article concludes by discussing the implications of the review for future research and practice in the area of workplace spirituality and mindfulness interventions.
