Abstract: Purpose - This paper aims to study the impact of four dimensions of workplace spirituality (engaging work, spiritual connection, mystical experiences and sense of community), corresponding with workplace climate and compensation on employee perceived job performance. Design/methodology/approach - A sample of 207 individuals from an international hospital were interviewed. Preliminary research, sale assessment, correlations and regressions were carried out. Findings - 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. Research limitations/implications - This paper relates to only the healthcare services. Hence, it is highly recommended that further research be administered in other professions and areas with a broader view and a longitudinal research design. Practical implications - Some applicable recommendations to enhance personnel’s productivity and organizational effectiveness are suggested. Originality/value - This paper could 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.
