Abstract: The objective of the study is to investigate the impact of workplace spirituality in enhancing psychological capital (PsyCap) aspects and improving wellbeing. The data has been collected from 423 respondents from a diverse group of employees working in various organisations. To construct a research model, an integrated approach of well-being theory (WBT), proposed by Seligman (2011) and broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions, proposed by Fredrickson (2001) were used. Hierarchical regression analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling were conducted for testing the relationship between variables in the model. The results indicated the following estimates of model fit: CMIN = 2.463, GFI = 0.909, AGFI = 0.870, NFI = 0.863, CFI = 0.912, RMSEA = 0.062 and the scores proved the model to be a good fit. The model satisfied the condition of discriminant and convergent validity. The results showed that mindfulness moderates the relationship between workplace spirituality and psychological capital and wellbeing.
