摘要：Spirituality theory refers to enhancing desire and increased activity at work, employee participation, and commitment to their organizations. Incorporating the state of spirituality with the social support theory represented by strong positive friendships at work generally enhances enthusiasm and positive results for organizations. This study explores the relationship between three dimensions of workplace spirituality (meaning of work, sense of connection, and adjustment with values) and affective commitment with the mediating of workplace friendship. Data were collected from 461 employees of 150 Egyptian charity organizations using a questionnaire. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM) was implemented to analyze the results. The results indicated that a sense of connection and adjustment with values were positively related to affective commitment. Workplace friendship was found to be a significant mediator in such relationships. The findings suggest that by improving spirituality in charity organizations, managers can promote employees’ affective commitment and strengthen the positive friendship relations between the employees of these organizations. This study adds to the existing literature on workplace spirituality by showing how spirituality is linked to workplace friendship and affective commitment.
