Abstract

The research investigates the impact of individual spirituality in the workplace on the knowledge-sharing behaviors of faculty members. This study utilizes quantitative research methods to investigate the relationship within the framework of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Women University in Peshawar, Pakistan, which is the principal location for data collection and analysis. The sample consisted of 65 participants chosen from a total of 162 respondents using stratified cluster sampling. Data were gathered through a survey method and analyzed using simple linear regression to demonstrate the significance and characteristics of the relationships among the research constructs. The statistical analysis results demonstrate that individual spirituality significantly enhances knowledge-sharing behavior. Moreover, factors such as inner life, personal accountability, and significance in the workplace are prominent among participants, whereas communal conditions and constructive relationships exert a more pronounced influence on knowledge-sharing behavior. The theoretical framework of the Theory of Reasoned Action assesses and substantiates these findings. The research corroborates existing literature, affirming that workplace spirituality is a positive predictor of knowledge sharing. Organizations ought to utilize this insight to optimize motivation and productivity advantages.
