Abstract: Abstract A descriptive, correlational, quantitative, and qualitative study was used to evaluate spirit at work, organizational culture, organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and State of Optimism among registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nurse assistants, or patient care technicians on a medical and surgical unit of a faith-based and non-faith-based hospital in the central part of the United States. A strong, moderate, statistical relationship was revealed between spirit at work, job satisfaction, organizational culture, and organizational commitment. The relationship between spirit at work and the organizational behaviors was stronger in the non-faith-based organization. While one may anticipate the relationship to be stronger with the faith-based organization, additional research is needed to determine if individual spirituality versus organizational spirituality is influencing the relationship.
