Workplace spirituality, mental health, and turnover intentions of hotel employees in Ghana: a broaden and build theory of positive emotions perspective

Workplace spirituality helps employees balance their lives within the work context. Nevertheless, a critical question that remains unanswered is the extent to which workplace spirituality affects employees’ mental health and turnover intentions in the hospitality context, one characterized by high-pressure and unpredictable work schedules. A cross-sectional survey of 280 hotel workers was conducted using a convenience sample. Results from PLS-SEM analysis indicated moderate levels of workplace spirituality, impaired mental health, and moderate turnover intentions among participants. Workplace spirituality had a direct influence on mental health, and indirectly on turnover intentions while mental health mediated the relationship. These findings highlight the importance of workplace spirituality in mitigating employee mental health issues and reducing turnover rates in the hospitality sector.
