The contemporary banking sector poses numerous psychological challenges due to its high stakes, target-driven work culture. Workplace spirituality and mindfulness have been found to have a buffering effect in this relationship, which in turn promote employee well-being and satisfaction, which is crucial for sustainable performance. The present study investigates the predictive role of workplace spirituality in job satisfaction and psychological well-being among banking sector employees, with mindfulness examined as a mediating variable. The study draws upon frameworks from positive organisational behaviour, proposing that spiritual experiences at work encourage greater awareness and thus enhance employee outcomes.


In the present study, data were collected from a sample of 330 bank employees across both public and private sectors. Workplace spirituality was assessed using the Spirituality at Work (SAW) scale by Kinjerski and Skrypnek, mindfulness was measured by the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) by Brown and Ryan, job satisfaction was assessed using Paul E. Spector's Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS, 1985), and psychological well-being was measured through Ryff's Psychological Well-being Scale. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was employed to analyse the mediation model. Results indicated that workplace spirituality significantly predicted both job satisfaction and psychological well-being. Mindfulness was found to partially mediate these relationships, emphasizing its role as a conduit through which spiritual experiences translate into enhanced workplace attitudes and mental health. These findings highlight the importance of cultivating workplace spirituality and mindfulness as strategic tools for enhancing psychological resources among employees in the banking industry. The study offers theoretical contributions to organisational psychology and practical insights for HR professionals seeking to foster resilient, satisfied, and mentally healthy workforce.
