Introduction
In India, the majority of the population is Hindu, based on our history of Hinduism. Hinduism is
also known as Sanatana Dharma "It means an ancient way of right living; if we talk about right
living, it covers all Factors from human life satisfaction to well-being; the Spiritual culture is
based on Hinduism because it's based on a belief system there so many leading idols, those are
believed on spirituality and always focuses on well-being. Bharam: The god creation of the world
lives things with the intention of well-being. Vishnu: God preserves and protects the universe from
bad things, supporting well-being—Devi: Goddess that fights to restore the dharma. The
Saraswati is the goodness of learning, and Krishna is the God of empathy, sympathy, and love. If
you deeply study, you will see all the above idols given a significant contribution towards well-
being.
Let's compare old stories, which are interpreted in Ramayana and Mahabharata. They also support
well-being because they focus more on spirituality, directly affected by Well-being. In Mahabharat,
Arjuna Is described as an outstanding warrior. He enjoyed the pride of a hedonic state as a state of
happiness through actualizing his potential in archery.
Looking at the current state of rapid industrial growth, we will observe that spirituality is
increasing drastically in human resources management. To solve human resource challenges,
spirituality at work is about a higher purpose of connectedness and transcendence. The present
research article addresses the concept of workplace spirituality and employee commitment, job
satisfaction, work-life balance, and Employee Well-being.

positive relationship with multiple forms of employee well- being.
The Mahabharata and Its Influence on Mental Health
If we deeply study the Bhagwat Gita, we will observe that the opponents, such as Arjuna,
experience doubts and crises. We will observe the value of identifying and resolving emotions as
Yudhisthira did after conflict; it also examines how to deal with loss and sorrow. The Mahabharata
provides us with a complete description of human emotions, which are reflating during struggles
and challenges, and we are doing daily experience those we face every day. The Bhagwat Gita
gives us guidelines about acceptance, resiliency, and getting support during difficult situations,
consistent with our current concept of mental health, which directly affects employee well-being.
The Bhagwat Gita highlights living mindfully in the present moment, which will help to manage
tension and anxiety and help boost mental health through contemporary therapeutic approaches.
If we look at the current trends of the organization, the concept of spirituality is increasing
exponentially in the HRM field; considering the current human resource challenges, it helps the
organization and human resources. Spirituality at work means extreme purpose, connectedness, and
excellence; the present research article addresses the conceptual and experimental gap using the
conceptual and exponential gap in the concept of workplace spirituality and the relationship between
workplace spirituality and Psychological well-being. Workplace Spirituality, Emotional Well-being,

having a positive relationship with employee performance and Gender moderates the relationship
between workplace spirituality and employee performance. The online survey method was used
in the IT industry, and 352 respondents participated. The questionnaire was designed in two parts:
workplace spirituality and employee performance, and the data was analyzed through Exploratory
factor analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). A regression analysis was
conducted, and it was observed that workplace spirituality is positively related to employee
performance, high self-esteem, and job satisfaction. While reviewing this literature, it is observed
that this study did not analyze the demographic variables of the employees; it was based on the
employee's perception regarding workplace spirituality at an individual level, not an
organizational level.[1]
The Author studies the impact of workplace spirituality and subjective stress, assesses the impact
of psychological well-being, and addresses the mediating role of stress in the spirituality-well-
being relationship. The data was collected from 322 secondary teachers and through structured
questionnaires; partial least squares structural equations modeling was used for data analysis. The
result indicated a positive relationship between spirituality and psychological well-being. Still,
there is an inverse relationship between job and subjective stress, significantly mediating between
spirituality and well-being. The Author collected data from secondary school teachers related to
specific areas. If he focused on other areas like IT, manufacturing, and finance, he focused on
subjective stress and psychological well-being because subjective stress measured as perceived
stress is a state measure and, as such, is expected to fluctuate over time, in contrast to personality
measures, which are distinguished in part by their stability over time which is not applicable all
universe[2]

hypotheses using statistical data packages through correlation, regression med, nation, and
moderation analysis. It was found that workplace spirituality is positively linked to employee
performance, and organizational citizenship behavior is also positively linked to workplace
spirituality and employee performance. The Author is focused more on organizational
citizenship behavior, so it's not helpful to give the correct impact of workplace spirituality on
employee well-being and performance because the behavior may differ to individuals and is
subjective to that particular situation.[3]

role of employee engagement in the relationship between organizational justice and mental health.

modeling was used to evaluate the data. It has been observed that workplace spirituality and
organizational justice significantly and positively predict employee engagement, which is
significantly related to employee mental health. The authors try to establish the relationship
between workplace spirituality and employee engagement, but that is not only one factor
affecting employee engagement because there are so many factors affecting employee
engagement, such as leadership style, organization culture, and policies[4]

workplace spirituality, self-esteem, and psychological well-being. The result of the present study

workplace spirituality, and the data was primarily collected from female like nurses,
psychiatrists, psychologists dominated by females[5]
Workplace spirituality as a mediator between organizational justice /ethical climate and workplace
unexpected behavior and organizational citizenship behavior. The data was collected from 641

behavior when an employee perceives a lack of fair-mindedness. The data was collected from a

area from one company employee only. The result can not be generalized, applies to the whole
universe, and may differ from leadership style.[7]

diverse research samples. The snowball sampling method was used. The data was analyzed
through Reliability, Validity, and Common Method Bias Testing. The study's findings show that
the relationship between employees' spirituality and job performance is fully mediated by natural
motivation and job manufacturing and positively affects employees. This study refers to
meaningful work as a crucial aspect of workplace spirituality. Still, the scale they adopted did
not include this variable, e.g., interconnection with human beings and interconnection with
nature, and the boundary condition that affects the casual path of employee spirituality,
motivation, and job performance.[8]
