Job Involvement as a Mediator Between Organizational Intelligence, Workplace Spirituality, and Quality of Work Life Among Red Crescent Employees

Spirituality in the workplace is the individual’s perception of their workplace enabling them to find their goal in life, establish a relationship with their colleagues and other individuals related to their work, and align their beliefs with the organization they work for. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the quality of work life (QWL) with organizational intelligence and workplace spirituality among employees of the Iranian Red Crescent Society mediated by job involvement.

In this descriptive-correlational study, the statistical population comprises all 22 to 45-year-old employees of the Red Crescent Society of Yazd province in 2022. Using convenience sampling, 304 employees were selected to complete the questionnaires of the study. The research instruments included the Quality of Work Life Questionnaire, Organizational Intelligence Questionnaire, Measurement of Job and Work Involvement, and Workplace Spirituality Scale. The proposed model was analyzed using path analysis. The bootstrapping analysis was used to test indirect relationships.

The results suggested there was a direct relationship between organizational intelligence and job involvement in employees of the Red Crescent Society (P<0.001). Moreover, there was a significant relationship between workplace spirituality and QWL (P<0.001), and between workplace spirituality and job involvement in employees of the Red Crescent Society (P=0.004). The relationship between job involvement and QWL was positive and significant (P<0.001). The relationship between indirect paths with the QWL was significant through job involvement (P<0.01).

The findings revealed that job involvement and workplace spirituality were positively related to the QWL of employees. Based on this model, various programs can be developed and designed to prevent career burnout and improve the quality of their work life.
