Abstract:

ABSTRACT Work place spirituality, which we can define as the efforts to find the basic aims of the life of the person, to establish a strong connection with the business-related people and to harmonize their beliefs with the values of the workplace; aims to create a common conscience for a place of business that will provide people with respectful, trustworthy and sincere relationships with people in their working life (Neal, 2000; Cited in. Örgev and Günalan, 2011 :55). Perceived organizational support means that employees feel secure and know that there is an organization behind them (Özdevecioğlu, 2003:113). Employees who perceive that they are supported by their organization have the possibility to respond in terms of workplace spirit, feeling gratitude (Kaplan and Öğüt, 2012:389).
