Abstract: This research explores the relationship between workplace spirituality and key psychological factors, including performance anxiety, workplace stress, and resilience. A quantitative approach was employed using a web-based survey with 120 participants (70 males, 50 females) aged 18-64 working full-time. Measures included Tecchio's workplace spirituality scale, McCarthy and Goffin's workplace anxiety scale, Marlin Company's workplace stress scale, and Ohio State University's brief resilience scale. Results reveal a significant relationship between age and workplace spirituality/performance anxiety. Resilience demonstrates a significant negative association with performance anxiety and workplace stress. Workplace spirituality is negatively linked to performance anxiety and workplace stress while positively associated with resilience. Linear regression analysis indicates a statistically significant impact, revealing a positive association between workplace spirituality and resilience. Implications suggest the importance of fostering workplace spirituality to enhance employee resilience and mitigate anxiety and stress. Future research should explore interventions and organisational strategies to promote workplace spirituality and employee well-being.

Keywords: workplace spirituality; performance anxiety; workplace stress; resilience; quantitative study; linear regression; organisational psychology.
