In his work later in 2012, the researcher informs that the very mention of the word ‘soul’ acknowledges debates about religious and non-religious spirituality in the 21st century and suggests the use of spirituality should be viewed as a soft science leading to multi-dimensional treatment as the best type of treatment.
The work of Sharma & Kumra (2020) indicates that the workplace spirituality and meaning were 'positively associated with worker engagement and improved mental health outcomes and states that the employees' mental health can be addressed positively by promoting workplace spirituality, improving employee engagement strategies and implementing organizational justice.
