Abstract: The paper focuses on x-raying workplace spirituality in a dynamic work environment. HRM in the contemporary work arrangement has transcend scientific management and human relation school models. There is a shift in research on how employee’s spirituality and faith values can be leveraged on to achieve both organizational and employee effectiveness and reduce poor performance and low output. Against this backdrop, this study will be guided by the following objectives: to evaluate the effect of work place spirituality on employee effectiveness in a dynamic work environment, establish the relationship between workplace spirituality and employee motivation in the dynamic work environment and examine the role of workplace spirituality in organizational performance. The conceptual framework describes how the workplace can be conducive through workplace spirituality that drives employee motivation which can lead to job satisfaction. The human relations theory by Elton Mayo (1922) was used to explain the concept of workplace spirituality in the performance of employees in an organization. Max Weber’s Calvinist ascetic religious belief and the spirit of capitalism (1958) was adopted as a theoretical guide. This work applied the qualitative method of research where analysis and findings are basically made from data that was collected from secondary sources. In the findings, the research shows that workplace spirituality is factor that can lead to employee motivation in an organization. In conclusion, the research proved that workplace spirituality can directly or indirectly influence workers motivation that can lead to organizational performance. It was recommended that workplace spirituality should be incorporated into our contemporary work structure and reward system which is a reflection of Africa’s cultural diversity and religious pluralism
