Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the mediated mechanism for enhancing organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) through job satisfaction (JS) using workplace spirituality (WPS) model in the selected Indian universities/institutes. A conceptual framework and associated hypotheses were proposed and tested using total of 98 useable survey data from faculty members working in various Indian universities. Two major dimensions of WPS were undertaken for the study namely, meaningful work and inner life. The findings showed a positive significant influence between inner life-organisation citizenship behaviour, meaningful work-organisation citizenship behaviour, meaningful work-job satisfaction, job satisfaction-organisation citizenship behaviour, except for inner life-job satisfaction. This study will be an add-on in the WPS studies and will offer a new direction for future studies. This study can be implied in the education sector as well as other sectors to get a highly satisfied and motivated workforce.

Keywords: job satisfaction; workplace spirituality; meaningful work; inner life; organisation citizenship behaviour.
