INFLUENCE OF SPIRITUAL BELIEFS ON JOB SATISFACTION AND WORK-LIFE HARMONY AMONG PROFESSIONALS IN VADODARA

Abstract

The present study explores the influence of spiritual beliefs on job satisfaction and work-life harmony among professionals in Vadodara, a culturally diverse city in Gujarat. In today’s fast-paced and high-pressure work environment, professionals often face emotional stress, imbalance, and dissatisfaction. This research examines whether spiritual beliefs and practices contribute positively to managing these challenges by enhancing emotional well-being, workplace motivation, and life balance. The study is based on primary data collected through a structured questionnaire from a diverse group of professionals across government, private, and business sectors. Key variables analyzed include job satisfaction, work-life harmony, emotional well-being, and spiritual practices, along with socio-demographic profiles. Statistical tools such as frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and regression analysis were used for interpretation. The findings reveal a strong positive correlation between spiritual beliefs and workplace outcomes, suggesting that incorporating spiritual awareness can significantly improve professional quality of life and holistic well-being.
