Abstract

The emerging paradigm called ‘Workplace Spirituality’ is interpreted by many in many ways. The recent researches on ‘Workplace Spirituality’ reveal that there is a common set of theme that most of the sources agree upon. Most of the researchers in this field use reference from “The Handbook of workplace Spirituality and Organizational Performance” by Giacalone and Jurwierokz (2003). Ashmos and Duchon(2000) describe workplace Spirituality as involving three levels, individual, work-unit and organization-wide. The work-unit dimension (group level) entails how much employees have a sense of connection and community with their management, principal, head of the department, colleagues and students; as well as assessing the extent to which they are caring and encouraging. This research is aimed at finding out the group level workplace spirituality of the college teachers by finding out the interpersonal relationship. The teachers who have good interpersonal relationship would be more productive in their jobs and would have good individual and organizational performance. This study is useful for the Management, teachers and researchers for their professional working. It is a descriptive type of research. The sample size was 100. The questionnaire was prepared for measuring the job satisfaction at Engineering College level. Data was analyzed by using Weighted Average, Pearson Correlation Analysis, Regression Analysis and Chi-Square Test.
