ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic poses increasing challenges to the survival and development of organizations. It is a matter of great concern as to how these organizations will cope with these adverse conditions and survive in the face of crisis caused by the pandemic. Creating and maintaining a healthy human resource is a key to coping with this crisis. Employee engagement and employee performance are two critical aspects for organizational success. The study investigates workplace spirituality as another dimension towards achieving engagement and enhancing performance of employees. The universe of the study consisted of full time employees working in both private and public sector organizations in Assam. Respondents were from varied industries including manufacturing, service, education and health care. Results reveal that workplace spirituality has statistically significant positive impact on employee engagement ( =0.681, p=0.000) and employee performance (β=0.528, p=0.000). This study suggests that organizations need to institutionalize spiritual values and practices in their organizational culture to make their employees more committed and more productive for achieving sustainability in the long run.
