Drawing from the job demands-resources theory and the protection motivation theory, this study attempts to examine how the experience of workplace spirituality impacts employee wellbeing during times of remote work. This study also examines how fear of COVID-19 moderates the aforementioned relationship. Using a self-administered questionnaire, data were collected from 566 employees working in the hospitality sector in India. Results revealed that the experience of three dimensions of workplace spirituality (meaningful work, sense of community, and alignment with organisational values) had a significant positive influence on employee wellbeing, even during remote work. Fear of COVID-19 had an interesting significant moderating effect, and it was revealed that the higher the fear, the stronger the relationship between the workplace spirituality (in terms of meaningful work, sense of community, and alignment with organisational values) and employee wellbeing. The insights gained from this study will assist both the employees and the managers in devising personalised approaches towards individual wellbeing and the organisation at large during times of pandemics.
本研究借鉴工作需求-资源理论和保护动机理论，试图探讨职场精神体验如何在远程工作期间影响员工福祉。本研究还考察了对新冠疫情的恐惧如何调节上述关系。通过自行填写问卷，收集了印度酒店业566名员工的数据。结果显示，职场精神的三个维度（有意义的工作、社区感以及与组织价值观的契合度）的体验对员工福祉有显著的积极影响，即使在远程工作期间也是如此。对新冠疫情的恐惧产生了有趣的显著调节作用，结果表明，恐惧程度越高，职场精神（在有意义的工作、社区感以及与组织价值观的契合度方面）与员工福祉之间的关系就越强。本研究获得的见解将有助于员工和管理者在疫情期间制定针对个人福祉和整个组织的个性化方法。
