Abstract: Abstract In the present 21st century the incorporation of spirituality and religion is acknowledged for promoting a sustainable work culture. This paper examines the relationship between spirituality, religiosity and sustainable work culture with special focus on the roles of spiritual intelligence and self-efficacy. Spiritual capital appertains capacity for employing spiritual assets and characters in work-related situations. It helps to align personal values with corporate ones. Similarly, self-efficacy is important because it transforms spiritual beliefs into work ethic; that it relates confidence to job performance. Therefore, hybridization of spiritual intelligence and self-efficacy to organizations will make them not only adaptive but also sustainable. This paper seeks to investigate the contribution of these aspects on the employee engagement, job satisfaction as well as organizational commitment. These findings suggest that developing group level spiritual intelligence and self-efficacy may promote a greater sense of meaning, belongingness and accountability which can facilitate constructing a sustainable healthy working environment.
