Abstract: In today's fast-paced and competitive business world, organizations are constantly seeking ways to boost employee productivity and create a positive workplace atmosphere. An emerging research focus is the link between workplace spirituality and employee productivity. The banking sector, known for its high-pressure environment, often faces challenges like employee burnout, stress, and work-life imbalance. However, banks have the unique opportunity to enhance their human resource productivity to gain a competitive edge. Workplace spirituality emphasizes the intrinsic values and meaning employees find in their work, offering a holistic approach. This study employs a convenience sampling method to survey 150 employees across five commercial banks. The findings illuminate a robust and statistically significant positive relationship between all four dimensions of Workplace Spirituality—Compassion, Meaningful Work, Transcendence, and Mindfulness on Employee Productivity. These results underscore the pivotal role of workplace spirituality on enhancing employee productivity. As such, commercial banks are urged to prioritize the cultivation of a spiritual organizational values to foster a conducive environment for maximizing productivity and achieving organizational objectives.
