Deciphering The Impact of Workplace Spirituality on The Mental Well-Being of Female Police Officers: Investigating the Mediating Role of Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Job Burnout, And the Moderating Role of Organizational Embeddedness

ABSTRACT

This research aims to explore the relationship between Gujarati female police officers mental health and workplace spirituality. To analyze data from 809 female police officers, the study applies a cross-sectional research approach and structural equation modeling (SEM). The study aims to investigate the function of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in mediating the association between workplace spirituality and mental well-being, as well as the role of organizational embeddedness in moderating the relationship between workplace spirituality and mental well-being. The outcomes suggest that workplace spirituality significantly improves the mental health of female police officers. The study backs up the mediating effect of OCB, implying that higher levels of workplace spirituality are connected with higher OCB, which improves mental well-being. The association between workplace spirituality and mental health, however, does not appear to have a substantial mediation role in job burnout. Additionally, the study demonstrates that organizational embeddedness moderates the association between workplace spirituality and mental health, with the association being stronger for female police officers with higher organizational embeddedness levels. These results highlight the significance of organizational citizenship behavior and organizational embedding as potential pathways via which workplace spirituality may affect the mental health of female police officers. Considering workplace spirituality as a viable tactic to improve the mental health of female police officers, policymakers and police organizations can gain valuable insights from this study.
